Title: Dense graph limits under respondent-driven sampling
Speaker: Siva Athreya, ISI Bangalore
Abstract: We consider certain respondent-driven sampling procedures on dense graphs. We show that if the sequence of the vertex-sets is ergodic then the limiting graph can be expressed in terms of the original dense graph via a transformation related to the invariant measure of the ergodic sequence. For specific sampling procedures, we describe the transformation explicitly. This is joint work with Adrian Rollin.
