On Nonparametric Predictive Inference for Ordinal Data
Nonparametric predictive inference (NPI) is a powerful frequentist statistical framework based only on an exchangeability assumption for future and past observations, made possible by the use of lower and upper probabilities. In this paper, NPI is presented for ordinal data, which are categorical data with an ordering of the categories. The method uses a latent variable representation of the ob...
متن کاملNonparametric Regression Estimation under Kernel Polynomial Model for Unstructured Data
The nonparametric estimation(NE) of kernel polynomial regression (KPR) model is a powerful tool to visually depict the effect of covariates on response variable, when there exist unstructured and heterogeneous data. In this paper we introduce KPR model that is the mixture of nonparametric regression models with bootstrap algorithm, which is considered in a heterogeneous and unstructured framewo...
متن کاملThe Beta Distribution as a Latent Response Model for Ordinal Data (I): Estimation of Location and Dispersion Parameters
Ordinal data are often modeled using a continuous latent response distribution, which is partially observed through windows of adjacent intervals de ̄ned by cutpoints. In this paper we propose the beta distribution as a model for the latent response. The beta distribution has several advantages over the other common distributions used, e.g., normal and logistic. In particular, it enables separat...
