Multi-Index Binary Response Analysisof Large Data Sets

چکیده
We propose a multi-index binary response model for analyzing large databases (i.e., with many regressors). We combine many regressors into factors (or indexes) and then estimate the link function via parametric or nonparametric methods. Neither the estimation of factors nor the determination of the number of factors requires ex ante knowledge of the link between the response and regressors. Furthermore, applying perturbation theory, we furnish a new asymptotic result to facilitate significance tests of factor loadings. We illustrate this approach with an empirical application in which we reduced dimensionality from 124 regressors to 4 factors.

A total of 1099 data points consisting of alcohol-alcohol, alcohol-alkane, alkane-alkane, alcohol-amine and acid-acid binary solutions were collected from scientific literature to develop an appropriate artificial neural network (ANN) model. Temperature, molecular weight of the pure components, mole fraction of one component and the structural groups of the components were used as input paramet...
متن کاملA Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Approach with Interval Numbers for Evaluating Project Risk Responses
The risk response development is one of the main phases in the project risk management that has major impacts on a large-scale project’s success. Since projects are unique, and risks are dynamic through the life of the projects, it is necessary to formulate responses of the important risks. Conventional approaches tend to be less effective in dealing with the imprecise of the risk response deve...

The goal of this study is to introduce a statistical method regarding the analysis of specific latent data for regression analysis of the discrete data and to build a relation between a probit regression model (related to the discrete response) and normal linear regression model (related to the latent data of continuous response). This method provides precise inferences on binary and multinomia...
متن کاملSimultaneous robust estimation of multi-response surfaces in the presence of outliers
A robust approach should be considered when estimating regression coefficients in multi-response problems. Many models are derived from the least squares method. Because the presence of outlier data is unavoidable in most real cases and because the least squares method is sensitive to these types of points, robust regression approaches appear to be a more reliable and suitable method for addres...
متن کاملLocal likelihood regression in generalized linear single-index models with applications to microarray data
Searching for an effective dimension reduction space is an important problem in regression, especially for high dimensional data such as microarray data. A major characteristic of microarray data consists in the small number of observations n and a very large number of genes p. This “large p, small n” paradigm makes the discriminant analysis for classification difficult. In order to offset this...
