Robust maximum likelihood (RML) and asymptotically generalized least squares (AGLS) methods have been recommended for fitting ordinal structural equation models. Studies show that some of these methods underestimate standard errors. However, these studies have not investigated the coverage and bias of interval estimates. An estimate with a reasonable standard error could still be severely biase...

This article approaches the problem of selecting significant principal components from a Bayesian model selection perspective. The resulting Bayes rule provides a simple graphical technique that can be used instead of (or together with) the popular scree plot to determine the number of significant components to retain. We study the theoretical properties of the new method and show, by examples ...

The dramatic rates new digital content becomes available has brought collaborative filtering systems in the epicenter of computer science research in the last decade. In this paper, we propose a novel methodology for rating prediction utilizing concepts from the field of Bayesian nonparametrics. The basic concept that underlies our approach is that each user rates a presented item based on the ...

This paper develops default priors for Bayesian analysis that reproduce familiar frequentist and Bayesian analyses for models that are exponential or location. For the vector parameter case there is an information adjustment that avoids the Bayesian marginalization paradoxes and properly targets the prior on the parameter of interest thus adjusting for any complicating nonlinearity the details ...

Vote-specific parameters are often by-products of roll call analysis, the primary goal being the measurement of legislators’ ideal points. But these vote-specific parameters are more important in higher-dimensional settings: prior restrictions on vote parameters help identify the model, and researchers often have prior beliefs about the nature of the dimensions underlying the proposal space. Ba...

We extend multi-way, multivariate ANOVA-type analysis to cases where one covariate is the view, with features of each view coming from different, highdimensional domains. The different views are assumed to be connected by having paired samples; this is common in our main application, biological experiments integrating data from different sources. Such experiments typically also include a contro...

The mixture of factor analyzers model, which has been used successfully for the model-based clustering of high-dimensional data, is extended to generalized hyperbolic mixtures. The development of a mixture of generalized hyperbolic factor analyzers is outlined, drawing upon the relationship with the generalized inverse Gaussian distribution. An alternating expectation-conditional maximization a...
