Correlated Samples with Fixed and Nonnormal Latent Variables
A general structural equation model is fitted on a panel data set that consists of I correlated samples. The correlated samples could be data from correlated populations or correlated observations from occasions of panel data. We consider cases in which the full pseudonormal likelihood cannot be used, for example, in highly unbalanced data where the participating individuals do not appear in co...
متن کاملExtension of Latin hypercube samples with correlated variables
A procedure for extending the size of a Latin hypercube sample (LHS) with rank correlated variables is described and illustrated. The extension procedure starts with an LHS of size m and associated rank correlation matrix C and constructs a new LHS of size 2m that contains the elements of the original LHS and has a rank correlation matrix that is close to the original rank correlation matrix C....
متن کاملObject and Action Classification with Latent Variables
In this paper we address the problem of classifying objects (e.g. person or car) and actions (e.g. hugging or eating) [2]. The more successful methods are based on a uniform pyramidal representation (SPM) built on a visual word vocabulary [1]. In this paper, we augment the classification by adding more flexible spatial information. This will be formulated more generally as inferring additional ...
متن کاملPractical Approaches to Dealing with Nonnormal and Categorical Variables Definitions and Distinctions
Definitions and Distinctions First, it is important to distinguish between categorical variables and continuous variables. Categorical variables are those with two values (i.e., binary, dichotomous) or those with a few ordered categories. Examples might include gender, dead vs. alive, audited vs. not audited, or variables with few response options like “never,” “sometimes,” or “always.” Continu...
متن کاملRegression Models with Correlated Binary Response Variables: a Comparison of Diierent Methods in Finite Samples
The present paper deals with the comparison of the performance of diierent estimation methods for regression models with correlated binary responses. Throughout, we consider probit models where an underlying latent continous random variable crosses a threshold. The error variables in the unobservable latent model are assumed to be normally distributed. The estimation procedures considered are (...
