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 کاملMultilevel mixture item response theory models: an application in education testing
Skrondal and Rabe-Hesketh (2004) proposed a generalized latent variable modeling framework integrating 1) factor analytic and random coe cient models, 2) models with discrete and continuous unobserved variables, and 3) hierarchical models with unobserved variables at di erent levels. This framework is implemented in their GLLAMM software package. In this paper I describe a strongly related fram...
متن کاملParadoxical Results in Multidimensional Item Response Theory
In multidimensional item response theory (MIRT), it is possible for the estimate of a subject’s ability in some dimension to decrease after they have answered a question correctly. This paper investigates how and when this type of paradoxical result can occur. We demonstrate that many response models and statistical estimates can produce paradoxical results and that in the popular class of line...
متن کاملItem response mixture modeling: application to tobacco dependence criteria.
This paper illustrates new hybrid latent variable models that are promising for phenotypical analyses. The hybrid models combine features of dimensional and categorical analyses seen in the conventional techniques of factor analysis and latent class analysis. The paper focuses on the analysis of categorical items, which presents especially challenging analyses with hybrid models and has recentl...
متن کاملA Skew Item Response Model
We introduce a new skew-probit link for item response theory (IRT) by considering an accumulated skew-normal distribution. The model extends the symmetric probit-normal IRT model by considering a new item (or skewness) parameter for the item characteristic curve. A special interpretation is given for this parameter, and a latent linear structure is indicated for the model when an augmented like...
