A latent variable model for multivariate discretization
We describe a new method for multivariate discretization based on the use of a latent variable model. The method is proposed as a tool to extend the scope of applicability of machine learning algorithms that handle discrete variables only.
متن کاملA general multivariate latent growth model with applications in student careers Data warehouses
The evaluation of the formative process in the University system has been assuming an ever increasing importance in the European countries. Within this context the analysis of student performance and capabilities plays a fundamental role. In this work we propose a multivariate latent growth model for studying the performances of a cohort of students of the University of Bologna. The model propo...
متن کاملA latent Gaussian model for multivariate consumption data
We propose a multivariate statistical model for individual consumption of multiple food types, to provide a more objective basis for exposure assessment from chronic consumption. Intake of each type of food is modelled by a latent Gaussian variable, where intake is zero if the latent variable is below a threshold, and otherwise is a monotonically increasing function of the latent variable. Furt...
متن کاملA Multivariate Probit Latent Variable Model for Analyzing Dichotomous Responses
We propose a multivariate probit model that is defined by a confirmatory factor analysis model with covariates for analyzing dichotomous data in medical research. Our proposal is a generalization of several useful multivariate probit models, and provides a flexible framework for practical applications. We implement a Monte Carlo EM algorithm for maximum likelihood estimation of the model, and d...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy Expectation-Maximization Algorithm for Fitting Latent-Variable Graphical Models to Multivariate Time Series
This work is focused on latent-variable graphical models for multivariate time series. We show how an algorithm which was originally used for finding zeros in the inverse of the covariance matrix can be generalized such that to identify the sparsity pattern of the inverse of spectral density matrix. When applied to a given time series, the algorithm produces a set of candidate models. Various i...
