Consider a graph with a set of vertices and oriented edges connecting pairs of vertices. Each vertex is associated with a random variable and these are assumed to be independent. In this setting, suppose we wish to solve the following hypothesis testing problem: under the null, the random variables have common distribution N(0, 1) while under the alternative, there is an unknown path along which random variables have distribution N(mu, 1), mu > 0, and distribution N(0, 1) away from it. For which values of the mean shift mu can one reliably detect and for which values is this impossible?Consider, for example, the usual regular lattice with vertices of the form{(i, j) : 0 1/root logm, while they are not if mu(m)
