Statistical Modeling of Combinatorial Response Data
组合响应数据的统计建模
There is a rich literature for modeling binary and polychotomous responses. However, existing methods are inadequate for handling combinatorial responses, where each response is an integer array under additional constraints. Such data are increasingly common in modern applications, such as surveys collected under skip logic, event propagation on a network, and observed matching in ecology. Ignoring the combinatorial structure leads to biased estimation and prediction. The…
