Uncertainty with ordinal likelihood information
This paper proposes a new framework of choice under uncertainty, where the only information available to the decision maker is about the the ordinal likelihood of the di erent outcomes each action generates. This contrasts both with the classical models where the potential outcomes of each action have an associated probability distribution, and with the more recent complete uncertainty models, ...
متن کاملFactor Analysis of Ordinal Variables with Full Information Maximum Likelihood
The basic idea of factor analysis is the following. For a given set of manifest variables x1, . . . , xp one wants to find a set of latent variables ξ1, . . . , ξk, fewer in number than the manifest variables, that contain essentially the same information. The latent variables are supposed to account for the dependencies among the manifest variables in the sense that if the latent variables are...
متن کاملPairwise likelihood estimation for factor analysis models with ordinal data
Pairwise maximum likelihood (PML) estimation method is developed for factor analysis models with ordinal data and tted both in an exploratory and con rmatory set-up. The performance of the method is studied via simulations and comparisons with full information maximum likelihood (FIML) and three-stage limited information estimation methods, namely the robust unweighted least squares (3S-RULS) a...
متن کاملComparison of Maximum Likelihood Estimation and Bayesian with Generalized Gibbs Sampling for Ordinal Regression Analysis of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome
Background and Objectives: Analysis of ordinal data outcomes could lead to bias estimates and large variance in sparse one. The objective of this study is to compare parameter estimates of an ordinal regression model under maximum likelihood and Bayesian framework with generalized Gibbs sampling. The models were used to analyze ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome data. Methods: This study use...
متن کاملConstructing Decision Functions with Augmented Ordinal Information
n Our concern is with the problem of constructing p decision functions to aid in making decision under m uncertainty. We discuss the tradeoff that has to be h made, when selecting a scale for representing our m possible payoffs, between the power of the scale and d the burden of the scale. We consider here the situation t in which our basic scale is an ordinal scale, however a we augment this s...
