Bayesian Semiparametric Structural Equation Models with Latent Variables
Structural equation models (SEMs) with latent variables are widely useful for sparse covariance structure modeling and for inferring relationships among latent variables. Bayesian SEMs are appealing in allowing for the incorporation of prior information and in providing exact posterior distributions of unknowns, including the latent variables. In this article, we propose a broad class of semipa...
متن کاملGaussian Process Structural Equation Models with Latent Variables
In a variety of disciplines such as social sciences, psychology, medicine and economics, the recorded data are considered to be noisy measurements of latent variables connected by some causal structure. This corresponds to a family of graphical models known as the structural equation model with latent variables. While linear non-Gaussian variants have been wellstudied, inference in nonparametri...
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 کاملBayesian Analysis of Structural Equation Models With Nonlinear Covariates and Latent Variables.
In this article, we formulate a nonlinear structural equation model (SEM) that can accommodate covariates in the measurement equation and nonlinear terms of covariates and exogenous latent variables in the structural equation. The covariates can come from continuous or discrete distributions. A Bayesian approach is developed to analyze the proposed model. Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for ob...
متن کاملIdentifiability of Parameters in Latent Structure Models with Many Observed Variables
While hidden class models of various types arise in many statistical applications, it is often difficult to establish the identifiability of their parameters. 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 ...
