Bayesian dynamic modeling of latent trait distributions.
Studies of latent traits often collect data for multiple items measuring different aspects of the trait. For such data, it is common to consider models in which the different items are manifestations of a normal latent variable, which depends on covariates through a linear regression model. This article proposes a flexible Bayesian alternative in which the unknown latent variable density can ch...
متن کاملDynamic Factor Volatility Modeling: A Bayesian Latent Threshold Approach
We discuss dynamic factor modeling of financial time series using a latent threshold approach to factor volatility. This approach models time-varying patterns of occurrence of zero elements in factor loadings matrices, providing adaptation to changing relationships over time and dynamic model selection. We summarize Bayesian methods for model fitting and discuss analyses of several FX, commodit...
متن کاملBayesian Latent Threshold Modeling: Multivariate Time Series and Dynamic Networks
We discuss dynamic network modeling for multivariate time series, exploiting dynamic variable selection and model structure uncertainty strategies based on the recently introduced concept of “latent thresholding.” This dynamic modeling concept addresses a critical and challenging problem in multivariate time series and dynamic modeling: that of inducing formal probabilistic structures that are ...

متن کاملBayesian methods for latent trait modelling of longitudinal data.
Latent trait models have long been used in the social science literature for studying variables that can only be measured indirectly through multiple items. However, such models are also very useful in accounting for correlation in multivariate and longitudinal data, particularly when outcomes have mixed measurement scales. Bayesian methods implemented with Markov chain Monte Carlo provide a fl...
