Constructing Common Factors from Continuous and Categorical Data
The method of principal components is widely used to estimate common factors in large panels of continuous data. This paper first reviews alternative methods that obtain the common factors by solving a Procrustes problem. While these matrix decomposition methods do not specify the probabilistic structure of the data and hence do not permit statistical evaluations of the estimates, they can be e...
متن کاملDetecting categorical perception in continuous discrimination data
We present a method for assessing categorical perception from continuous discrimination data. Until recently, categorical perception of speech has exclusively been measured by discrimination and identification experiments with a small number of repeatedly presented stimuli. Experiments by Rogers and Davis [1] have shown that using non-repeating stimuli along a densely-sampled phonetic continuum...
متن کاملA Probabilty Neural Network for Continuous and Categorical Data
In most application of the data classifications, the data sets contain both continuous and categorical variables. In other word, multivariate data sets containing mixtures of continuous and categorical variables arise frequently in practice. This paper presents a novel Probability Neural Network (PNN) which can classify the data for both continuous and categorical input data types. The case wit...
متن کاملFunctional Coefficient Estimation with Both Categorical and Continuous Data∗
We propose a local linear functional coefficient estimator that admits a mix of discrete and continuous data for stationary time series. Under weak conditions our estimator is asymptotically normally distributed. A small set of simulation studies is carried out to illustrate the finite sample performance of our estimator. As an application, we estimate a wage determination function that explici...
متن کاملClustering From Categorical Data Sequences
The three-parameter cluster model is a combinatorial stochastic process that generates categorical response sequences by randomly perturbing a fixed clustering parameter. This clear relationship between the observed data and the underlying clustering is particularly attractive in cluster analysis, in which supervised learning is a common goal and missing data is a familiar issue. The model is w...
