On Two Mixture-Based Clustering Approaches Used in Modeling an Insurance Portfolio [PDF]
We review two complementary mixture-based clustering approaches for modeling unobserved heterogeneity in an insurance portfolio: the generalized linear mixed cluster-weighted model (CWM) and mixture-based clustering for an ordered stereotype model (OSM).

Mixture-based Clustering for the Ordered Stereotype Model
Many of the methods which deal with the reduction of dimensionality in matrices of data are based on mathematical techniques. In general, it is not possible to use statistical inferences or select the appropriateness of a model via information criteria ...

Bayesian Inference for the Stereotype Regression Model: Application to a Case-control Study of Prostate Cancer [PDF]
The stereotype regression model for categorical outcomes, proposed by Anderson (J. Roy. Statist. Soc. B. 1984; 46:1–30) is nested between the baseline‐category logits and adjacent category logits model with proportional odds structure.

Assigning scores for ordered categorical responses
Deciding on the best statistical method to apply when the response variable is ordinal is essential because the way the categories are ordered in the data is relevant as it could change the results of the analysis.

Introduction: Stereotype regression models provide a parsimonious solution for analyzing ordinal response variables. When the proportional odds assumption is violated, these models offer a viable alternative to more commonly used cumulative logit models.

Archetypal analysis for ordinal data [PDF]
Archetypoid analysis (ADA) is an exploratory approach that explains a set of continuous observations as mixtures of pure (extreme) patterns. Those patterns (archetypoids) are actual observations of the sample which makes the results of this technique ...

Launay–Slade Hallucination Scale-Extended: simplifying its interpretation [PDF]
Background The Launay–Slade Hallucination Scale – Extended (LSHS-E) is one of the most used self-reported questionnaires to explore the multidimensionality of hallucinatory-like experiences (HLEs).

Adaptation of a cross-national measure of fear-based xenophobia to Turkish culture
The purpose of this study is to adapt a cross-national measure of fear-based xenophobia to Turkish culture. This measure is a unidimensional cumulative attitude scale comprising five items, ordered according to difficulty parameters.

A tutorial on selecting and interpreting predictive models for ordinal health-related outcomes
Ordinal variables are very often objects of study in health sciences. However, due to the lack of dissemination of models suited for ordinal variables, users often adopt other practices that result in the loss of statistical power.
