Seeded Poisson Factorization: leveraging domain knowledge to fit topic models

Bernd Prostmaier, Jan Vávra, Bettina Grün +1

Topic models are widely used for discovering latent thematic structures in large text corpora, yet traditional unsupervised methods often struggle to align with pre-defined concept…

A Structural Text-Based Scaling Model for Analyzing Political Discourse

Jan Vávra, Bernd Hans-Konrad Prostmaier, Bettina Grün +1

Scaling political actors based on their individual characteristics and behavior helps profiling and grouping them as well as understanding changes in the political landscape. In th…

Evolving Voices Based on Temporal Poisson Factorisation

Jan Vávra, Bettina Grün, Paul Hofmarcher

The world is evolving and so is the vocabulary used to discuss topics in speech. Analysing political speech data from more than 30 years requires the use of flexible topic models t…

Deep ROC Analysis and AUC as Balanced Average Accuracy to Improve Model Selection, Understanding and Interpretation

André M. Carrington, Douglas G. Manuel, Paul W. Fieguth +9

Optimal performance is critical for decision-making tasks from medicine to autonomous driving, however common performance measures may be too general or too specific. For binary cl…

Multivariate analysis of covariance when standard assumptions are violated

Georg Zimmermann, Markus Pauly, Arne C. Bathke

In applied research, it is often sensible to account for one or several covariates when testing for differences between multivariate means of several groups. However, the "classica…

Sample size calculation and blinded recalculation for analysis of covariance models with multiple random covariates

Georg Zimmermann, Meinhard Kieser, Arne Bathke

When testing for superiority in a parallel-group setting with a continuous outcome, adjusting for covariates (e.g., baseline measurements) is usually recommended, in order to reduc…

Optimal Sample Size Planning for the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney-Test

Martin Happ, Arne C. Bathke, Edgar Brunner

There are many different proposed procedures for sample size planning for the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test at given type-I and type-II error rates and , respectively. Most met…

Sophisticated and small versus simple and sizeable: When does it pay off to introduce drifting coefficients in Bayesian VARs?

Martin Feldkircher, Luis Gruber, Florian Huber +1

We assess the relationship between model size and complexity in the time-varying parameter VAR framework via thorough predictive exercises for the Euro Area, the United Kingdom and…

Small-sample performance and underlying assumptions of a bootstrap-based inference method for a general analysis of covariance model with possibly heteroskedastic and nonnormal errors

Georg Zimmermann, Markus Pauly, Arne C. Bathke

It is well known that the standard F test is severely affected by heteroskedasticity in unbalanced analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) models. Currently available potential remedies fo…

Should I stay or should I go? A latent threshold approach to large-scale mixture innovation models

Florian Huber, Gregor Kastner, Martin Feldkircher

This paper proposes a straightforward algorithm to carry out inference in large time-varying parameter vector autoregressions (TVP-VARs) with mixture innovation components for each…
