Latent Variable Modelling: A Survey*
Latent variable modelling has gradually become an integral part of mainstream statistics and is currently used for a multitude of applications in different subject areas. Examples of ‘traditional’ latent variable models include latent class models, item–response models, common factor models, structural equation models, mixed or random effects models and covariate measurement error models. Altho...
متن کاملRainfall Modelling Using a Latent Gaussian Variable
A monotonic transformation is applied to hourly rainfall data to achieve marginal normality. This deenes a latent Gaussian variable, with zero rainfall corresponding to censored values below a threshold. Autocor-relations of the latent v ariable are estimated by maximum likelihood. The goodness of t of the model to Edinburgh rainfall data is comparable with that of existing point process models...
متن کاملLatent Variable Modelling: Old and New Approaches
To find he precursor of contemporary latent variable modelling one must go back to the beginning of the 20th century and Charles Spearman’s invention of factor analysis. This was followed, half a century later, by latent class and latent trait analysis and, from the 1960’s onwards, by covariance structure analysis. The most recent additions to the family have been in the area of time series. We...
متن کاملA Mutually-Dependent Hadamard Kernel for Modelling Latent Variable Couplings
We introduce a novel kernel that models input-dependent couplings across multiple latent processes. The pairwise joint kernel measures covariance along inputs and across different latent signals in a mutually-dependent fashion. A latent correlation Gaussian process (LCGP) model combines these non-stationary latent components into multiple outputs by an input-dependent mixing matrix. Probit clas...
متن کاملVariational Inference for Latent Variable Modelling of Correlation Structure
Latent variable models have played an important part in unsupervised learning, where the goal is to capture the structure of some complicated observed data in a set of variables that are somehow simpler. PCA or Factor Analysis, for example, models high dimensional data using lower dimensional and uncorrelated latent variables. The value of the latent variable represents some underlying unobserv...
