Selection of latent variables for multiple mixed-outcome models.
Latent variable models have been widely used for modeling the dependence structure of multiple outcomes data. However, the formulation of a latent variable model is often unknown a priori, the misspecification will distort the dependence structure and lead to unreliable model inference. Moreover, multiple outcomes with varying types present enormous analytical challenges. In this paper, we pres...
متن کاملLinear latent structure analysis and modelling of multiple categorical variables
Linear latent structure analysis is a new approach for investigation of population heterogeneity using high-dimensional categorical data. In this approach, the population is represented by a distribution of latent vectors, which play the role of heterogeneity variables, and individual characteristics are represented by the expectation of this vector conditional on individual response patterns. ...
متن کاملGraphical Gaussian modelling of multivariate time series with latent variables
In time series analysis, inference about causeeffect relationships among multiple times series is commonly based on the concept of Granger causality, which exploits temporal structure to achieve causal ordering of dependent variables. One major problem in the application of Granger causality for the identification of causal relationships is the possible presence of latent variables that affect ...
متن کاملMulti-Conditional Learning for Joint Probability Models with Latent Variables
We introduce Multi-Conditional Learning, a framework for optimizing graphical models based not on joint likelihood, or on conditional likelihood, but based on a product of several marginal conditional likelihoods each relying on common sets of parameters from an underlying joint model and predicting different subsets of variables conditioned on other subsets. When applied to undirected models w...
متن کاملDiscrete choice modelling with latent variables: some new findings
The formulation of hybrid discrete choice models, including both tangible alternative attributes and latent variables associated with attitudes and perceptions has been a major topic of discussion in recent years. To estimate models with both kinds of variables, two methods have been developed: the sequential approach, where the latent variables are built before their integration with the tradi...
