Bayesian modeling of temporal dependence in large sparse contingency tables.
In many applications, it is of interest to study trends over time in relationships among categorical variables, such as age group, ethnicity, religious affiliation, political party and preference for particular policies. At each time point, a sample of individuals provide responses to a set of questions, with different individuals sampled at each time. In such settings, there tends to be abunda...
متن کاملContingency Wheel: Visual Analysis of Large Contingency Tables
We present the Contingency Wheel, a visual method for finding and analyzing associations in a large n×m contingency table with m < 100 and n being two to three orders of magnitude larger than m. The method is demonstrated on a large table from the Book-Crossing dataset, which counts the number of ratings each book received from each country. It enables finding books that received a disproportio...
متن کاملSmall Contingency Tables with Large Gaps
We construct examples of contingency tables on n binary random variables where the gap between the linear programming lower/upper bound and the true integer lower/upper bounds on cell entries is exponentially large. These examples provide evidence that linear programming may not be an effective heuristic for detecting disclosures when releasing margins of multi-way tables.
متن کاملAlternative statistical models and representations for large sparse multi-dimensional contingency tables
— A variety of strategies allow one to approach the analysis of large sparse contingency tables using models with a modest number of parameters. This paper gives an overview of some of these strategies, emphasizing the role of log-linear models and exchangeability: multidimensional generalizations of the model of quasi-symmetry due to Henri Caussinus, Bayesian versions of the Rasch model from i...
متن کاملAnalysis of Contingency Tables Bayesian Analysis of Contingency Tables
The display of the data by means of contingency tables is used in different approaches to statistical inference, for example, to broach the test of homogeneity of independent multinomial distributions. We develop a Bayesian procedure to test simple null hypotheses versus bilateral alternatives in contingency tables. Given independent samples of two binomial distributions and taking a mixed prio...
