Introduction to latent variable models
Latent variable models have now a wide range of applications, especially in the presence of repeated observations, longitudinal/panel data, and multilevel data These models are typically classi ed according to:.nature of the response variables (discrete or continuous).nature of the latent variables (discrete or continuous)

Introduction to Statistical Learning Theory
www.econ.upf.eduThe main goal of statistical learning theory is to provide a framework for study-ing the problem of inference, that is of gaining knowledge, making predictions, making decisions or constructing models from a set of data. This is studied in a statistical framework, that is there are assumptions of statistical nature about

www.econ.upf.eduMeasures of distance between samples: non-Euclidean Euclidean distances are special because they conform to our physical concept of distance. But there are many other distance measures which can be defined between multivariate samples. These non-Euclidean distances are of different types: some still satisfy the basic

Reading 5b: Continuous Random Variables
ocw.mit.eduThe probability density function f(x) of a continuous random variable is the analogue of the probability mass function p(x) of a discrete random variable. Here are two important differences: 1. Unlike p(x), the pdf f(x) is not a probability. You have to integrate it to get proba bility. (See section 4.2 below.) 2.
