Effective Dimensions of Hierarchical Latent Class Models
Hierarchical latent class (HLC) models are tree-structured Bayesian networks where leaf nodes are observed while internal nodes are latent. There are no theoretically well justified model selection criteria for HLC models in particular and Bayesian networks with latent nodes in general. Nonetheless, empirical studies suggest that the BIC score is a reasonable criterion to use in practice for le...
متن کاملLearning Hierarchical Latent Class Models
Hierarchical latent class (HLC) models generalize latent class models. As models for cluster analysis, they suit more applications than the latter because they relax the often untrue conditional independence assumption. They also facilitate the discovery of latent causal structures and the induction of probabilistic models that capture complex dependencies and yet have low inferential complexit...
متن کاملStructural EM for Hierarchical Latent Class Models
Hierarchical latent class (HLC) models are tree-structured Bayesian networks where leaf nodes are observed while internal nodes are not. This paper is concerned with the problem of learning HLC models from data. We apply the idea of structural EM to a hill-climbing algorithm for this task described in an accompanying paper (Zhang et al. 2003) and show empirically that the improved algorithm can...
متن کاملDimension Correction for Hierarchical Latent Class Models
Model complexity is an important factor to consider when selecting among graphical models. When all variables are observed, the complexity of a model can be measured by its standard dimension, i.e. the num ber of independent parameters. When hid den variables are present, however, standard dimension might no longer be appropriate. One should instead use effective dimension (Geiger et al. 1996...
متن کاملHierarchical multinomial models 1 Running head: HIERARCHICAL MULTINOMIAL MODELS Hierarchical Multinomial Processing Tree Models: A Latent-Class Approach
Multinomial processing tree models are widely used in many areas of psychology. Their application relies on the assumption of parameter homogeneity, that is, on the assumption that participants do not differ in their parameter values. Tests for parameter homogeneity are proposed that can be routinely used as part of multinomial model analyses to defend the assumption. If parameter homogeneity i...
