Goodness-of-Fit Testing for Latent Class Models
Latent class models with sparse contingency tables can present problems for model comparison and selection, because under these conditions the distributions of goodness-of-fit i...
Inference from Iterative Simulation Using Multiple Sequences
The Gibbs sampler, the algorithm of Metropolis and similar iterative simulation methods are potentially very helpful for summarizing multivariate distributions. Used naively, ho...
An Analysis of Transformations
Summary In the analysis of data it is often assumed that observations y 1, y 2, …, yn are independently normally distributed with constant variance and with expectations specifi...
Maximum Likelihood Estimation in Truncated Samples
In this paper we consider the problem of estimation of parameters from a sample in which only the first $r$ (of $n$) ordered observations are known. If $r = \\lbrack qn \\rbrack...
