Latent variable modeling
doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1002-0829.2012.02.010 National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing, University of California, Los Angeles, CA, USA *Correspondence: [email protected] A latent variable model, as the name suggests, is a statistical model that contains latent, that is, unobserved, variables. 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 کاملBeyond Sem: General Latent Variable Modeling
This article gives an overview of statistical analysis with latent variables. Using traditional structural equation modeling as a starting point, it shows how the idea of latent variables captures a wide variety of statistical concepts, including random effects, missing data, sources of variation in hierarchical data, finite mixtures, latent classes, and clusters. These latent variable applicat...
