INVESTIGATION OF MEASUREMENT PRECISION OF LATENT VARIABLES IN EDUCATION
The objective of the study is to investigate the measurement accuracy of latent variables depending on a number of dichotomous test items and variation range.Methods: Investigation is based on the simulation experiments.Results: The authors make ...

Multiscale Latent Variable Regression
Multiscale wavelet-based representation of data has been shown to be a powerful tool in feature extraction from practical process data. In this paper, this characteristic of multiscale representation is utilized to improve the prediction accuracy of some

Latent class analysis variable selection [PDF]
We propose a method for selecting variables in latent class analysis, which is the most common model-based clustering method for discrete data. The method assesses a variable's usefulness for clustering by comparing two models, given the clustering ...

International Human Trafficking: Measuring Clandestinity by the Structural Equation Approach
Worldwide human trafficking is the third most often registered international criminal activity, ranked only after drug and weapon trafficking. This article focusses on three questions: 1) How can human trafficking be measured?

Optimal Encoding in Stochastic Latent-Variable Models
In this work we explore encoding strategies learned by statistical models of sensory coding in noisy spiking networks. Early stages of sensory communication in neural systems can be viewed as encoding channels in the information-theoretic sense. However,

Investigating the role of latent individual components in the acceptance of demand management policies: Case study of Tehran odd-even policy [PDF]
Due to the problems caused by personal car use, demand management policies have been developed, which result in reduced use of personal vehicles. It is generally accepted that demand management policies are classified into two types: hard or soft. In the

Multimodal latent variable analysis [PDF]
Consider a set of multiple, multimodal sensors capturing a complex system or a physical phenomenon of interest. Our primary goal is to distinguish the underlying sources of variability manifested in the measured data. The first step in our analysis is to find the common source of variability present in all sensor measurements.

Latent Variable Nonparametric Cointegrating Regression [PDF]
This article studies the asymptotic properties of empirical nonparametric regressions that partially misspecify the relationships between nonstationary variables. In particular, we analyze nonparametric kernel regressions in which a potential nonlinear cointegrating regression is misspecified through the use of a proxy regressor in place of the true ...
