Sharp detection boundaries on testing dense subhypergraph

12 Jan 2021  ·  Mingao Yuan, Zuofeng Shang ·

We study the problem of testing the existence of a dense subhypergraph. The null hypothesis is an Erdos-Renyi uniform random hypergraph and the alternative hypothesis is a uniform random hypergraph that contains a dense subhypergraph. We establish sharp detection boundaries in both scenarios: (1) the edge probabilities are known; (2) the edge probabilities are unknown. In both scenarios, sharp detectable boundaries are characterized by the appropriate model parameters. Asymptotically powerful tests are provided when the model parameters fall in the detectable regions. Our results indicate that the detectable regions for general hypergraph models are dramatically different from their graph counterparts.
