Estimation of Generalized Linear Latent Variable Models
Generalized Linear Latent Variable Models (GLLVM), as de ned in Bartholomew and Knott (1999) enable modelling of relationships between manifest and latent variables. They extend structural equation modelling techniques, which are powerful tools in the social sciences. However, because of the complexity of the log-likelihood function of a GLLVM, an approximation such as numerical integration mus...
متن کاملUsing multivariate generalized linear latent variable models to measure the difference in event count for stranded marine animals
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The classification of marine animals as protected species makes data and information on them to be very important. Therefore, this led to the need to retrieve and understand the data on the event counts for stranded marine animals based on location emergence, number of individuals, behavior, and threats to their presence. Whales are g...
متن کاملGeneralized Linear Latent Variable Models for time dependent data
Latent variable models are a fundamental tool for the analysis of multivariate data. The importance of such models is due to the crucial role that latent variables play in many fields, e.g. psychological and educational, socioeconomic, biometric, where often constructs are not directly observable. In these contexts, the different nature of the observable variables often causes theoretical and p...
متن کاملExplicit estimating equations for semiparametric generalized linear latent variable models
We study generalized linear latent variable models without requiring a distributional assumption of the latent variables. Using a geometric approach, we derive consistent semiparametric estimators. We demonstrate that these models have a property which is similar to that of a sufficient complete statistic, which enables us to simplify the estimating procedure and explicitly to formulate the sem...
متن کاملParameter constraints in generalized linear latent variable models
Parameter constraints in generalized linear latent variable models are discussed. Both linear equality and inequality constraints are considered. Maximum likelihood estimators for the parameters of the constrained model and corrected standard errors are derived. A significant reduction in the dimension of the optimization problem is achieved with the proposed methodology for fitting models subj...
