The use of latent variable models in policy: A road fraught with peril?

open access: yesBio-based and Applied Economics, 2020
This paper explores the potential usefulness and possible pitfalls of using integrated choice and latent variable models (hybrid choice models) on stated choice data to inform policy.

A New Extension of the Binomial Error Model for Responses to Items of Varying Difficulty in Educational Testing and Attitude Surveys. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
We put forward a new item response model which is an extension of the binomial error model first introduced by Keats and Lord. Like the binomial error model, the basic latent variable can be interpreted as a probability of responding in a certain way to ...

A Modification on Intra Class Correlation Estimation for Ordinal Scale Variable Using Latent Variable Model

open access: yesJournal of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, 2023
Background: A common way for computing test-retest reliability is Intra Class Correlation which was developed for continuous variables. But it widely used to assess test-retest reliability in questionnaires with Likert scales.

Dirichlet latent variable model : a dynamic model based on Dirichlet prior for audio processing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We propose a dynamic latent variable model for learning latent bases from time varying, non-negative data. We take a probabilistic approach to modeling the temporal dependence in data by introducing a dynamic Dirichlet prior – a Dirichlet distribution ...

Background Indicators

open access: yesEconometrics, 2019
It is customary to assume that an indicator of a latent variable is driven by the latent variable and some random noise. In contrast, a background indicator is also systematically influenced by variables outside the structural model of interest ...

Latent Variable Model for Multi-modal Translation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In this work, we propose to model the interaction between visual and textual features for multi-modal neural machine translation (MMT) through a latent variable model. This latent variable can be seen as a multi-modal stochastic embedding of an image and
