Partial and ecological correlation: a common three-term covariance decomposition
La covarianza tra le variabili X e Y in presenza di una variabile concomitante Z, viene scomposta in tre termini: la covarianza residua, la covariance lack of fit e, infine, la covariance fit. La covarianza parziale è definita dalla somma dei primi due termini mentre la covarianza ecologica è costituita dalla somma degli ultimi due. Tale scomposizione consente una chiara analisi comparata della...
متن کاملPartial Correlation- and Regression-Based Approaches to Causal Structure Learning
We present the Total Conditioning (TC) algorithm for causal discovery suited in the presence of continuous variables. Given a set of n data points drawn from a distribution whose underlying causal structure is a directed acyclic graph (DAG), the TC algorithm returns a structure, i.e., a DAG, over the variables that tends to the correct structure when n tends to infinity. The approach builds on ...
متن کاملPartial least squares methods: partial least squares correlation and partial least square regression.
Partial least square (PLS) methods (also sometimes called projection to latent structures) relate the information present in two data tables that collect measurements on the same set of observations. PLS methods proceed by deriving latent variables which are (optimal) linear combinations of the variables of a data table. When the goal is to find the shared information between two tables, the ap...
متن کاملBias in Ecological Regression
Bias formulae are derived for ecological regression estimators. These formulae are useful for determining the direction and magnitude of bias in estimation. It is shown that when group cohesion is higher in areas with higher concentrations of group members and when polarization is higher in more homogeneous areas, ecological regression estimates of polarization will tend to be biased upward. Bo...
متن کاملPartial Correlation Estimation by Joint Sparse Regression Models — Supplemental Material
where Y = (y1, · · · , yp) and ỹi = √ σyi,w̃i = wi/σ . These properties are used for the proof of the main results. Note: throughout the supplementary material, when evaluation is taken place at σ = σ̄, sometimes we omit the argument σ in the notation for simplicity. Also we use Y = (y1, · · · , yp) to denote a generic sample and use Y to denote the p× n data matrix consisting of n i.i.d. such sa...
