Weighted k-Nearest-Neighbor Techniques and Ordinal Classification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In the field of statistical discrimination k-nearest neighbor classification is a well-known, easy and successful method. In this paper we present an extended version of this technique, where the distances of the nearest neighbors can be taken into ...

Teaching Ordinal Patterns to a Computer: Efficient Encoding Algorithms Based on the Lehmer Code

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
Ordinal patterns are the common basis of various techniques used in the study of dynamical systems and nonlinear time series analysis. The present article focusses on the computational problem of turning time series into sequences of ordinal patterns. In

On Quasi Ordinal Diagram Systems [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2019
The purposes of this note are the following two; we first generalize Okada-Takeuti's well quasi ordinal diagram theory, utilizing the recent result of Dershowitz-Tzameret's version of tree embedding theorem with gap conditions.

Generalized ordinal patterns allowing for ties and their applications in hydrology

open access: yesComputational Statistics & Data Analysis, 2022
When using ordinal patterns, which describe the ordinal structure within a data vector, the problem of ties appeared permanently. So far, model classes were used which do not allow for ties; randomization has been another attempt to overcome this problem. Often, time periods with constant values even have been counted as times of monotone increase.

Ordinal Ridge Regression with Categorical Predictors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In multi-category response models categories are often ordered. In case of ordinal response models, the usual likelihood approach becomes unstable with ill-conditioned predictor space or when the number of parameters to be estimated is large relative to ...

Ordinal Classification: Working Definition and Detection of Ordinal Structures

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Ordinal classification (OC) is an important niche of supervised pattern recognition, in which the classes constitute an ordinal structure. In general, the ordinal structure can be identified, either according to the natural occurrence of the current task

Ordinal Conditional Entropy Displays Reveal Intrinsic Characteristics of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
Individual subjects’ ratings neither are metric nor have homogeneous meanings, consequently digital- labeled collections of subjects’ ratings are intrinsically ordinal and categorical.

Continuous ordinal patterns: Creating a bridge between ordinal analysis and deep learning

open access: yesChaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2023
We introduce a generalization of the celebrated ordinal pattern approach for the analysis of time series, in which these are evaluated in terms of their distance to ordinal patterns defined in a continuous way. This allows us to naturally incorporate information about the local amplitude of the data and to optimize the ordinal pattern(s) to the problem

Ordered samples control charts for ordinal variables [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The paper presents a new method for statistical process control when ordinal variables are involved. This is the case of a quality characteristic evaluated by an ordinal scale.

Rhesus Monkeys Have a Counting Ability and Can Count from One to Six

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2021
Counting ability is one of the many aspects of animal cognition and has enjoyed great interest over the last couple of decades. The impetus for studying counting ability in nonhuman animals has likely come from more than a general interest in animal ...
