A general class of latent variable models for ordinal manifest variables with covariate effects on the manifest and latent variables.
Previous work on a general class of multidimensional latent variable models for analysing ordinal manifest variables is extended here to allow for direct covariate effects on the manifest ordinal variables and covariate effects on the latent variables. A full maximum likelihood estimation method is used to estimate all the model parameters simultaneously. Goodness-of-fit statistics and standard...
متن کاملDeconvolutional Latent-Variable Model for Text Sequence Matching
A latent-variable model is introduced for text matching, inferring sentence representations by jointly optimizing generative and discriminative objectives. To alleviate typical optimization challenges in latent-variable models for text, we employ deconvolutional networks as the sequence decoder (generator), providing learned latent codes with more semantic information and better generalization....
متن کاملInstrumental Variables Regression with Measurement Errors and Multicollinearity in Instruments
In this paper we obtain a consistent estimator when there exist some measurement errors and multicollinearity in the instrumental variables in a two stage least square estimation of parameters. We investigate the asymptotic distribution of the proposed estimator and discuss its properties using some theoretical proofs and a simulation study. A real numerical application is also provided for mor...
متن کاملLatent Identity Variables: Biometric Matching Without Explicit Identity Estimation
We present a new approach to biometrics that makes probabilistic inferences about matching without ever estimating an identity “template”. The biometric data is considered to have been created by a noisy generative process. This process consists of (i) a deterministic component, which depends entirely on an underlying representation of identity and (ii) a stochastic component which accounts for...
متن کاملE-Matching with Free Variables
E-matching is the most commonly used technique to handle quantifiers in SMT solvers. It works by identifying characteristic subexpressions of quantified formulae, named triggers, which are matched during proof search on ground terms to discover relevant instantiations of the quantified formula. E-matching has proven to be an efficient and practical approach to handle quantifiers, in particular ...
