Explaining Heterogeneity in Risk Preferences Using a Finite Mixture Model
This paper studies the effect of the space (distance) between lotteries' outcomes on risk-taking behavior and the shape of estimated utility and probability weighting functions. Previously investigated experimental data shows a significant space effect in the gain domain. As compared to low spaced lotteries, high spaced lotteries are associated with higher risk aversion for high probabilities o...
متن کاملA Mixture-Model Approach to the Analysis of Survival Data
In this paper, we study a mixture model for survival data where covariates may innuence both the incidence probabilities and their conditional latency distributions. The data may include the exactly observed, the right-censored, and the interval-censored failure times. We apply the EM algorithm to nd the maximum likelihood estimate. We also carry out a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for Bay...
متن کاملTopic Analysis Using a Finite Mixture Model
We address the issue of 'topic analysis,' by which is determined a text's topic structure, which indicates what topics are included in a text, and how topics change within the text. We propose a novel approach to this issue, one based on statistical modeling and learning. We represent topics by means of word clusters, and employ a finite mixture model to represent a word distribution within a t...
متن کاملDocument Classification Using a Finite Mixture Model
We propose a new method of classifying documents into categories. We define for each category a finite mixture model based on soft clustering of words. We treat the problem of classifying documents as that of conducting statistical hypothesis testing over finite mixture models, and employ the EM algorithm to efficiently estimate parameters in a finite mixture model. Experimental results indicat...
متن کاملEvaluation of Factors Related to Short-Term and Long-Term Survival of Breast Cancer Patients by Mixture Cure Model
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Today, with advancements in medical sciences, increasing the cure probability of patients as well as increasing survival time is an important goal of cancer treatment. Therefore, in this study, in addition to examining patients’ survival, we investigated the cure probability of breast cancer patients and its prognostic factors u...
