A Note on the Identifiability of the Degree‐Corrected Stochastic Block Model
ABSTRACT In this short note, we address the identifiability issues inherent in the degree‐corrected stochastic block model (DCSBM). We provide a rigorous proof demonstrating that the parameters of the DCSBM are identifiable up to a scaling factor and a permutation of the community labels, under a mild condition.
