Stochastic Approximation Methods for Latent Regression Item Response Models
This paper presents an application of a stochastic approximation EM-algorithm using a Metropolis-Hastings sampler to estimate the parameters of an item response latent regression model. Latent regression models are extensions of item response theory (IRT) to a 2-level latent variable model in which covariates serve as predictors of the conditional distribution of ability. Applications for estim...
متن کاملParameter Estimation in Spatial Generalized Linear Mixed Models with Skew Gaussian Random Effects using Laplace Approximation
Spatial generalized linear mixed models are used commonly for modelling non-Gaussian discrete spatial responses. We present an algorithm for parameter estimation of the models using Laplace approximation of likelihood function. In these models, the spatial correlation structure of data is carried out by random effects or latent variables. In most spatial analysis, it is assumed that rando...
متن کاملTractable Latent State Filtering for Non-Linear DSGE Models Using a Second-Order Approximation and Pruning
This paper develops a novel approach for estimating latent state variables 1 of Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models that are solved using 2 a second-order accurate approximation. I apply the Kalman filter to a state-space 3 representation of the second-order solution based on the ‘pruning’ scheme of Kim 4 et al. (J Econ Dyn Control 32:3397–3414, 2008). By contrast to particle f...

متن کاملEstimation and Prediction for Spatial Generalized Linear Mixed Models Using High Order Laplace Approximation
Estimation and prediction in generalized linear mixed models are often hampered by intractable high dimensional integrals. This paper provides a framework to solve this intractability, using asymptotic expansions when the number of random effects is large. To that end, we first derive a modified Laplace approximation when the number of random effects is increasing at a lower rate than the sampl...
