Bayesian Inference for Ordinal Data Using Multivariate Probit Models
Multivariate ordinal data arise in many areas of applications. This paper proposes new efficient methodology for Bayesian inference for multivariate probit models using Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques. The key idea for our approach is the novel use of parameter expansion to sample correlation matrices. We also propose methodology for model selection. Our approach is demonstrated through sev...
متن کاملHierarchical Bayesian ARX models for robust inference
Gaussian innovations are the typical choice in most ARX models but using other distributions such as the Student’s t could be useful. We demonstrate that this choice of distribution for the innovations provides an increased robustness to data anomalies, such as outliers and missing observations. We consider these models in a Bayesian setting and perform inference using numerical procedures base...
متن کاملModeling Paired Ordinal Response Data
About 25 years ago, McCullagh proposed a method for modeling univariate ordinal responses. After publishing this paper, other statisticians gradually extended his method, such that we are now able to use more complicated but efficient methods to analyze correlated multivariate ordinal data, and model the relationship between these responses and host of covariates. In this paper, we aim to...
متن کاملOrdinal Response Mixed Models: A Case Study
Ordinal scale responses have always been popular in the biomedical, educational, and social science fields of study, but more recently the use of statistical methods tailored to the characteristics of ordinal responses have begun to gain in popularity. While many models have been proposed which allow the use of the ordering without treating the data as quantitative, little has been written abou...
متن کاملOrdinal Common-sense Inference
Humans have the capacity to draw commonsense inferences from natural language: various things that are likely but not certain to hold based on established discourse, and are rarely stated explicitly. We propose an evaluation of automated common-sense inference based on an extension of recognizing textual entailment: predicting ordinal human responses of subjective likelihood of an inference hol...
