Their roots go back to Spearman’s 1904 seminal work on factor analysis, which...
متن کاملLatent Variable PixelCNNs for Natural Image Modeling
We study probabilistic models of natural images and extend the autoregressive family of PixelCNN models by incorporating latent variables. Subsequently, we describe two new generative image models that exploit different image transformations as latent variables: a quantized grayscale view of the image or a multi-resolution image pyramid. The proposed models tackle two known shortcomings of exis...
متن کاملA Latent Variable Perspective of Copula Modeling
The Essential Ideas Let us begin by congratulating Danaher and Smith (2011) on an excellent contribution that serves as a lucid introduction to copula modeling, as well as providing a sensible Bayesian approach for its application to both continuous and discrete data. The essential concept we take away is that modeling dependence in multivariate data is facilitated by transforming the marginal ...
متن کاملDifferential Impacts of Social Presence on the Behavior Modeling Approach
The continued and increasing use of online asynchronous learning (OAL) environments for training raises the question whether and to what extent behavior modeling, the most effective training method in live instruction, will prove to be effective in OAL environments. This article analyzes the effect of applying behavior modeling training in an OAL environment. Behavior modeling training can be d...
