Bayesian Gaussian Copula Factor Models for Mixed Data.
Gaussian factor models have proven widely useful for parsimoniously characterizing dependence in multivariate data. There is a rich literature on their extension to mixed categorical and continuous variables, using latent Gaussian variables or through generalized latent trait models acommodating measurements in the exponential family. However, when generalizing to non-Gaussian measured variable...
متن کاملBayesian Correlated Factor Analysis for Spatial Data
A hierarchical Bayesian factor model for multivariate spatially correlated data is proposed. The idea behind the proposed method is to search factor scores incorporating a dependence due to a geographical structure. The great exibility of the Bayesian approach bears directly on the problem of parameter identi cation in factor analysis and furthermore on the inclusion of our prior opinion about ...
متن کاملVariational bounds for mixed-data factor analysis
We propose a new variational EM algorithm for fitting factor analysis models with mixed continuous and categorical observations. The algorithm is based on a simple quadratic bound to the log-sum-exp function. In the special case of fully observed binary data, the bound we propose is significantly faster than previous variational methods. We show that EM is significantly more robust in the prese...

متن کاملBayesian Factor Analysis for Mixed Ordinal and Continuous Responses
Many situations exist in which a latent construct has both ordinal and continuous indicators. This presents a problem for the applied researcher because standard measurement models are not designed to accommodate mixed ordinal and continuous data. I address this problem by formulating a measurement model that is appropriate for such mixed multivariate responses. This model unifies standard norm...
