Estimating the extremal index through local dependence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The extremal index is an important parameter in the characterization of extreme values of a stationary sequence. Our new estimation approach for this parameter is based on the extremal behavior under the local dependence condition D$^{(k)}$($u_n$).

Local item dependence on the vocabulary levels test revisited

open access: yesVocabulary Learning and Instruction, 2014
The purpose of this study was to address the question of local item dependence (LID) on the Vocabulary Levels Test (VLT). The test format adopts a matching format consisting of six words and three definitions.

Modeling local dependence in latent vector autoregressive models.

open access: yesBiostatistics, 2019
We propose a Bayesian latent vector autoregressive (LVAR) model to analyze multivariate longitudinal data of binary and ordinal variables (items) as a function of a small number of continuous latent variables.

Pairwise Likelihood Estimation of the 2PL Model with Locally Dependent Item Responses

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The local independence assumption is crucial for the consistent estimation of item parameters in item response theory models. This article explores a pairwise likelihood estimation approach for the two-parameter logistic (2PL) model that treats the local

Feature Selection based on the Local Lift Dependence Scale

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
This paper uses a classical approach to feature selection: minimization of a cost function applied on estimated joint distributions. However, in this new formulation, the optimization search space is extended.

Estimating and Testing Nonlinear Local Dependence Between Two Time Series

open access: yesJournal of business & economic statistics, 2018
The most common measure of dependence between two time series is the cross-correlation function. This measure gives a complete characterization of dependence for two linear and jointly Gaussian time series, but it often fails for nonlinear and non ...

Detecting the influence of item chaining on student responses to the Force Concept Inventory and the Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation

open access: yesPhysical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Items that are chained, or blocked, together appear on many of the conceptual assessments utilized for physics education research. However, when items are chained together there is the potential to introduce local dependence between those items, which ...

Multiple Imputation of Missing Categorical and Continuous Values via Bayesian Mixture Models With Local Dependence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present a nonparametric Bayesian joint model for multivariate continuous and categorical variables, with the intention of developing a flexible engine for multiple imputation of missing values. The model fuses Dirichlet process mixtures of multinomial
