Latent variables in econometrics
Unobservable variables in econometrics are represented in one of three ways: by variables contaminated by measurement errors, by proxy variables, or by various manifest indicators and/or causes. This paper contains a discussion of models involving each of these representations, and highlights certain interesting implications that have been ‘insufficiently emphasized or completely unrecognized i...
متن کاملConcomitant Variables in Latent Change Models
A basic tenet in modeling preference behavior is that individuals differ in the ways they perceive and evaluate choice options. Latent-class analysis provides a parsimonious and flexible approach to represent these taste differences. This method decomposes a heterogeneous population of decision-makers into several homogeneous classes or subpopulations. Each decision-maker is assigned to one of ...
متن کاملModel Selection in a Settingwith Latent Variables
Model selection, the task of selecting a statistical model from a certain model class given data, is an important problem in statistical learning. From another perspective model selection can also be viewed as learning a single distribution, where the parameter space includes a discrete structure parameter s which imposes further constraints on the remaining parameterization of that model, so t...
متن کاملDiscriminative Log-Linear Grammars with Latent Variables
. Grammars with Latent Variables Given a treebank over a set of categories learn an optimally refined grammar for parsing. The parameters can be learned with an Expectation Maximization algorithm. The E-Step involves computing expectations over derivations corresponding to the observed trees. These expectations are normalized in the M-Step to update the rewrite probabilities: Grammar Learning T...
متن کاملPredictive Inference Using Latent Variables with Covariates.
Plausible values (PVs) are a standard multiple imputation tool for analysis of large education survey data, which measures latent proficiency variables. When latent proficiency is the dependent variable, we reconsider the standard institutionally generated PV methodology and find it applies with greater generality than shown previously. When latent proficiency is an independent variable, we sho...
