Determinants of Cross-Border Bank Acquisitions in Transition Economies: A Latent Class Analysis [PDF]

We analyze the microeconomic determinants of cross-border bank acquisitions in 16 transition economies over the period 1996-2006. By using a latent class discrete choice model we explicitly incorporate the macroeconomic and institutional heterogeneity of

Determination of the performance of a novel diagnostic test for Clostridioides difficile toxins A and B using latent class analysis

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
The diagnosis of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) remains challenging. Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) targeting the C. difficile (CD) toxin B gene suffer from suboptimal specificity for CDI due to CD asymptomatic colonization.

The Variational Homoencoder: Learning to learn high capacity generative models from few examples

, 2018
Hierarchical Bayesian methods can unify many related tasks (e.g. k-shot classification, conditional and unconditional generation) as inference within a single generative model. However, when this generative model is expressed as a powerful neural network

Modelling Charitable Donations: A Latent Class Panel Approach [PDF]

: We apply a latent class tobit framework to the analysis of charitable donations at the household level where the latent class aspect of the model splits households into two groups, which we subsequently interpret as "low" donators and "high" donators ...
