Sparse Modeling of Categorial Explanatory Variables
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shrinking methods in regression analysis are usually designed for metric predictors. If independent variables are categorial some modifications are necessary. In this article two L1-penalty based methods for factor selection and clustering of categories are presented and investigated. The first approach is designed for nominal scale levels, the second one for ordinal predictors. All methods are illustrated and compared in simulation studies, and applied to real world data from the Munich rent standard.

PhD Proposal – The Lexicon in Combinatory Categorial Grammar: An Explanatory Theory of Verbal Categories in Natural Languages
The aim of this project is to elaborate a theory of natural language lexicons for Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG), a mildly contextsensitive, polynomially time-parsable variant of categorial grammar. This theory will have both a descriptive aspect, exploring the use of appropriate formal machinery for expressing lexical generalisations, and an explanatory aspect, accounting for observed pa...
متن کاملParsing Chinese with a Generalized Categorial Grammar
Categorial grammars are attractive because they have a clear account of unbounded dependencies. This accounting is especially important in Mandarin Chinese which makes extensive usage of unbounded dependencies. However, parsers trained on existing categorial grammar annotations (Tse and Curran, 2010) extracted from the Penn Chinese Treebank (Xue et al., 2005) are not as accurate as those traine...
متن کاملModeling Factors Affecting Tax Evasion in Iran's Economy Based on the Bayesian averaging approach
This study seeks to model tax evasion and identify how effective factors affect tax evasion in the Iranian economy. Recent models show the failure of traditional models; Models do not have enough ability to model hidden variables such as tax evasion. The present study considers this failure in identifying explanatory variables and experimental model design. To achieve this, the Bayesian averagi...
متن کاملModeling the effects of Bunium persicum (Black Zira) essential oil, pH, inoculums size and temperature on the growth of Listeria monocytogenes
Listeriosis is acknowledged as a major foodborne disease throughout the world caused by Listeria monocytogenes. Different factors can affect the growth of food borne microbial pathogens. The aim of this study was to investigate the combined effects of different concentrations of Bunium persicum essential oil (EO) (0%, 0.08%, 0.16%, 0.24%), three incubation temperatures (35ºC, 25ºC, 4ºC), three ...
متن کاملMorpho-syntactic Modeling of Korean with a Categorial Grammar
A morpho-syntactic categorial modeling for Korean is introduced. Variable categories and notations for word order treatment are newly invented and notations for elliptic arguments are also suggested. Incremental parsing technique of a morpheme graph is newly developed using the proposed categorial Korean modeling. Two heuristics based on the coverage of sub-trees and the part-of-speech bigrams ...
