Asymmetric Univariate and Bivariate Laplace and Generalized Laplace Distributions
Alternative specifications of univariate asymmetric Laplace models are described and investigated. A more general mixture model is then introduced. Bivariate extensions of these models are discussed in some detail, with particular emphasis on associated parameter estimation strategies. Multivariate versions of the models are briefly introduced.
متن کاملAre Measures of Character and Personality Distinct? Evidence From Observed-Score and True-Score Analyses.
Two studies were conducted to investigate redundancy between the character strengths found in the VIA model of character and familiar personality facets. Study 1 used a community sample ( N = 606) that completed a measure of character strengths, four personality inventories, and 17 criterion measures. The second study used Mechanical Turk workers ( N = 498) who completed measures of the HEXACO ...
متن کاملApproximations to Profile Score Distributions
Profiles, which are summaries of multiple alignments of a sequence family, are used to find new instances of the family in databases. In this paper, we study the maximum score M obtained when the profile is aligned without indels at all possible positions of a random sequence. The main theorem gives an approximation to the distribution function of M with an explicit bound on the error. This the...
متن کاملUsing Heteroskedastic Ordered Probit Models to Recover Moments of Continuous Test Score Distributions from Coarsened Data
Test score distributions of schools or demographic groups are often summarized by frequencies of students scoring in a small number of ordered proficiency categories. We show that heteroskedastic ordered probit (HETOP) models can be used to estimate means and standard deviations of multiple groups’ test score distributions from such data. Because the scale of HETOP estimates is indeterminate up...
متن کاملOn Score Distributions and Relevance
We discuss the idea of modelling the statistical distributions of scores of documents, classified as relevant or non-relevant. Various specific combinations of standard statistical distributions have been used for this purpose. Some theoretical considerations indicate problems with some of the choices of pairs of distributions. Specifically, we revisit a generalisation of the well-known inverse...
