Method evidence record

Multilayer Stochastic Block Model

The Multilayer Stochastic Block Model (ML-SBM) is a generative probabilistic framework that extends the classical stochastic block model to networks with multiple relation types or layers. It simultaneously infers community structure and block-to-block connection probabilities across all layers, capturing how communities cohere differently depending on context or relationship type.
