Summary

A novel goodness-of-fit test based on the maximum entry of the centered and rescaled adjacency matrix for the stochastic block model, which proves that the null distribution of the test statistic converges in distribution to a Gumbel distribution and shows that both the number of communities and the membership vector can be tested via the proposed method.
