Abstract:Due to the rapid development of social networks, the spatial autoregression model with covariates is increasingly being applied in practice. However, traditional estimation methods such as maximum likelihood estimation are practically infeasible if the network size n is very large. Here, we propose a novel estimation approach, that reduces the computational complexity from O(n3) to O(n). This approach is developed by ignoring the endogeneity issue induced by network dependence. We show that the resulting estimator is consistent and asymptotically normal under certain conditions. Extensive simulation studies are presented to demonstrate its finite sample performance and a real social network dataset is analyzed for illustration purposes.
