We propose a general model that jointly characterizes degree heterogeneity and homophily in weighted, undirected networks. We present a moment estimation method using node degrees and homophily statistics.We establish consistency and asymptotic normality of our estimator using novel analysis. We apply our general framework to three applications, including both exponential family and non-exponential family models. Comprehensive numerical studies and a data example also demonstrate the usefulness of our metho...
