Ranking scientific journals via latent class models for polytomous item response data
We propose a strategy for ranking scientific journals starting from a set of available quantitative indicators that represent imperfect measures of the unobservable ‘value’ of the journals of interest. After discretizing the available indicators, we estimate a latent class model for polytomous item response data and use the estimated model to classify each journal. We apply the proposed approac...
متن کاملStochastic Approximation Methods for Latent Regression Item Response Models
This paper presents an application of a stochastic approximation EM-algorithm using a Metropolis-Hastings sampler to estimate the parameters of an item response latent regression model. Latent regression models are extensions of item response theory (IRT) to a 2-level latent variable model in which covariates serve as predictors of the conditional distribution of ability. Applications for estim...
متن کاملLatent class CUB models
The paper proposes a latent class version of CUB models for ordinal data to account for unobserved heterogeneity. The extension, called LC-CUB, is useful when the heterogeneity is originated by clusters of respondents not identified by covariates: this may generate a multimodal response distribution, which cannot be adequately described by a standard CUB model. The LC-CUBmodel is a finite mixtu...
متن کاملLatent Class Models
Over the past several years more significant books have been published on latent class and other types of finite mixture models than any other class of statistical models. The recent increase in interest in latent class models is due to the development of extended computer algorithms, which allow today's computers to perform latent class analysis on data containing more than just a few variable...
متن کاملMultilevel Latent Class Models
The latent class (LC) models that have been developed so far assume that observations are independent. Parametric and nonparametric random-coefficient LC models are proposed here, which will make it possible to modify this assumption. For example, the models can be used for the analysis of data collected with complex sampling designs, data with a multilevel structure, and multiple-group data fo...
