Latent Variable Models
A powerful approach to probabilistic modelling involves supplementing a set of observed variables with additional latent, or hidden, variables. By defining a joint distribution over visible and latent variables, the corresponding distribution of the observed variables is then obtained by marginalization. This allows relatively complex distributions to be expressed in terms of more tractable joi...
متن کاملApplications of latent-variable models in educational psychology: The need for methodological-substantive synergies ¬リニ
As emphasized in the call for papers by Jonna Kulikowich and Gregory Hancock, the primary goal of this special issue of Contemporary Educational Psychology is to assemble a collection of illustrative empirical studies in educational psychology that utilize one or more state-of-the-art latent variable modeling procedures. Distinguishing these articles from those in leading measurement and statis...
متن کاملTensors and Latent Variable Models
In this paper we discuss existing and new connections between latent variable models from machine learning and tensors (multi-way arrays) from multilinear algebra. A few ideas have been developed independently in the two communities. However, there are still many useful but unexplored links and ideas that could be borrowed from one of the communities and used in the other. We will start our dis...
متن کاملIsotone additive latent variable models
For manifest variables with additive noise and for a given number of latent variables with an assumed distribution, we propose to nonparametrically estimate the association between latent and manifest variables. Our estimation is a two step procedure: first it employs standard factor analysis to estimate the latent variables as theoretical quantiles of the assumed distribution; second, it emplo...
متن کاملHigh Performance Latent Variable Models
Latent variable models have accumulated a considerable amount of interest from the industry and academia for their versatility in a wide range of applications. A large amount of effort has been made to develop systems that is able to extend the systems to a large scale, in the hope to make use of them on industry scale data. In this paper, we describe a system that operates at a scale orders of...
