Abstract: This paper considers the change-point problem for finite sequences of networks. To avoid the difficulty of computing the normalization coefficient in the models such as Exponential Random Graphical Model (ERGM) and Markov networks, we construct a finite measure space with measure ratio statistics. A new performance measure of detection delay is proposed to detect the changes in distribution of the network data. And under the performance measure we defined, an optimal sequential test is presented. The good performance of the optimal sequential test is illustrated numerically on ERGM and Erdős–Rényi network sequences.
