The explanatory autonomy of cognitive models
1. Many models, one world The mind/brain, like any other complex system, can be modeled in a variety of ways. 1 Some of these involve ignoring or abstracting from most of its structure: for the purpose of understanding overall glucose metabolism in the body, we can neglect the brain’s intricate internal organization and treat it simply as a suitably discretized homogeneous mass having certain e...
متن کاملIncorporating Nonrandom Direct Marketing Activity into Latent Attrition Models
Latent attrition models serve as the foundation for analyzing transactional customer relationships to derive forecasts of customer behavior and value. Yet, extant models often overlook the effects of direct marketing and how it is individually targeted. We propose a parsimonious model that allows for direct marketing to impact the frequency with which transactions occur, the monetary amount of ...
متن کاملIncorporating Boosted Regression Trees into Ecological Latent Variable Models
Important ecological phenomena are often observed indirectly. Consequently, probabilistic latent variable models provide an important tool, because they can include explicit models of the ecological phenomenon of interest and the process by which it is observed. However, existing latent variable methods rely on handformulated parametric models, which are expensive to design and require extensiv...
متن کاملIdentifiability of latent class models with many observed variables
While latent class models of various types arise in many statistical applications, it is often difficult to establish their identifiability. Focusing on models in which there is some structure of independence of some of the observed variables conditioned on hidden ones, we demonstrate a general approach for establishing identifiability, utilizing algebraic arguments. A theorem of J. Kruskal for...
متن کاملLearning Gaussian Graphical Models with Observed or Latent FVSs
Gaussian Graphical Models (GGMs) or Gauss Markov random fields are widelyused in many applications, and the trade-off between the modeling capacity andthe efficiency of learning and inference has been an important research prob-lem. In this paper, we study the family of GGMs with small feedback vertexsets (FVSs), where an FVS is a set of nodes whose removal breaks all the cycles...
