A Latent Factor Model for High-Dimensional Binary Data
高维二元数据的潜在因子模型
In this study, we develop a latent factor model for analysing high-dimensional binary data. Specifically, a standard probit model is used to describe the regression relationship between the observed binary data and the continuous latent variables. Our method assumes that the dependency structure of the observed binary data can be fully captured by the continuous latent factors. To estimate the model, a moment-based estimation method is developed. The proposed method is able…
