Abstract

This paper addresses the challenge of determining community scale to which network nodes belong and introduces an innovative hypothesis testing approach. It begins with a network sampling method that generates sequences of node dependency values, revealing community structure and scale in a waveform-like manner. Subsequently, the study employs wavelet analysis, a signal processing technique, to extract local signal periodicity information from these sequences. This information is then used to develop a test for assessing node membership in specific community scales. The proposed method is applied to both simulated and real-world social network data, with results from the simulated data demonstrating its effectiveness in evaluating node membership in particular community scales.
