Tree-Embedded Bayesian Factor Models for Multidimensional Categorical Distributions
多维分类分布的树嵌入贝叶斯因子模型
Analyzing data collected from multiple observational units to estimate common and heterogeneous structures through a hierarchical model is a central task in Bayesian inference, and to this end, Bayesian factor models are one of the most widely used tools for this purpose. In this paper, we propose a novel Bayesian latent factor model for categorical distributions from grouped data, providing a parsimonious model for describing many observed distributions through…
