A characterization of monotone unidimensional latent variable models
单调一维潜变量模型的刻画
Recently, the problem of characterizing monotone unidimensional latent variable models for binary repeated measures was studied by Ellis and van den Wollenberg and by Junker. We generalize their work with a de Finetti-like characterization of the distribution of repeated measures $\rm X = (X_1, X_2, \dots)$ that can be represented with mixtures of likelihoods of independent but not identically distributed random variables, where the data satisfy a stochastic ordering…
