A Formulation of the Latent Class Vector Model for Pairwise Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this research, a latent class vector model for pairwise data is formulated. As compared to the basic vector model, this model yields consistent estimates of the parameters since the number of parameters to be estimated does not increase with the number of subjects. The result of the analysis reveals that the model was stable and could classify each subject to the latent classes representing the typical scales used by these subjects. Keywords—finite mixture models, latent class analysis, Thrustone’s paired comparison method, vector model

Determination of weight vector by using a pairwise comparison matrix based on DEA and Shannon entropy
The relation between the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a topic of interest to researchers in this branch of applied mathematics. In this paper, we propose a linear programming model that generates a weight (priority) vector from a pairwise comparison matrix. In this method, which is referred to as the E-DEAHP method, we consider each row of the pairwise...
متن کاملA new classification method based on pairwise SVM for facial age estimation
This paper presents a practical algorithm for facial age estimation from frontal face image. Facial age estimation generally comprises two key steps including age image representation and age estimation. The anthropometric model used in this study includes computation of eighteen craniofacial ratios and a new accurate skin wrinkles analysis in the first step and a pairwise binary support vector...
متن کاملAn application of Measurement error evaluation using latent class analysis
Latent class analysis (LCA) is a method of evaluating non sampling errors, especially measurement error in categorical data. Biemer (2011) introduced four latent class modeling approaches: probability model parameterization, log linear model, modified path model, and graphical model using path diagrams. These models are interchangeable. Latent class probability models express l...
متن کاملA New Formulation for Cost-Sensitive Two Group Support Vector Machine with Multiple Error Rate
Support vector machine (SVM) is a popular classification technique which classifies data using a max-margin separator hyperplane. The normal vector and bias of the mentioned hyperplane is determined by solving a quadratic model implies that SVM training confronts by an optimization problem. Among of the extensions of SVM, cost-sensitive scheme refers to a model with multiple costs which conside...
متن کاملLearning Latent Features with Pairwise Penalties in Matrix Completion
Low-rank matrix completion (MC) has achieved great success in many real-world data applications. A latent feature model formulation is usually employed and, to improve prediction performance, the similarities between latent variables can be exploited by pairwise learning, e.g., the graph regularized matrix factorization (GRMF) method. However, existing GRMF approaches often use a squared L2 nor...
