Uncovering preferences from patient list data using benefit efficient models
In this paper it is shown how the benefit efficient patient list model of Ubøe and Lillestøl [1] can be used to infer strength of preferences from patient list data. It is proved that the model allows the construction of unique sets of preferences replicating the observed allocations. To illustrate how this theory can be applied in practice, preferences are uncovered from a small data set, obta...
متن کاملAttribute-efficient learning of decision lists and linear threshold functions under unconcentrated distributions
We consider the well-studied problem of learning decision lists using few examples when many irrelevant features are present. We show that smooth boosting algorithms such as MadaBoost can efficiently learn decision lists of length k over n boolean variables using poly(k, logn) many examples provided that the marginal distribution over the relevant variables is “not too concentrated” in an L2-no...
متن کاملA Thought on Exotic Statistical Distributions
The statistical distributions are modeled in explaining nature of various types of data sets. Although these distributions are mostly uni-modal, it is quite common to see multiple modes in the observed distribution of the underlying variables, which make the precise modeling unrealistic. The observed data do not exhibit smoothness not necessarily due to randomness, but could also be due to non-...
متن کاملBayesian Statistical Inference on Elliptical Matrix Distributions
In this paper we are concerned with Bayesian statistical inference for a class of elliptical distributions with parameters + and 7. Under a noninformative prior distribution, we obtain the posterior distribution, posterior mean, and generalized maximim likelihood estimators of + and 7. Under the entropy loss and quadratic loss, the best Bayesian estimators of 7 are derived as well. Some applica...
متن کاملAutomatic Lexical Acquisition Based on Statistical Distributions
We automatically classify verbs into lexical semantic classes, based on distributions of indicators of verb alternations, extracted from a very large annotated corpus. We address a problem which is particularly di cult because the verb classes, although semantically di erent, show similar surface syntactic behavior. Five grammatical features are su cient to reduce error rate by more than 50% ov...
