The physics of (ir)rational choice
Joost Kruis, Gunter Maris, Maarten Marsman +3
Even though classic theories and models of discrete choice pose man as a rational being, it has been shown extensively that people persistently violate rationality in their actual…
An Asymptotically Efficient Metropolis-Hastings Sampler for Bayesian Inference in Large-Scale Educational Measuremen
Timo Bechger, Gunter Maris, Maarten Marsman
This paper discusses a Metropolis-Hastings algorithm developed by \citeA{MarsmanIsing}. The algorithm is derived from first principles, and it is proven that the algorithm becomes…
Logistic regression and Ising networks: prediction and estimation when violating lasso assumptions
Lourens Waldorp, Maarten Marsman, Gunter Maris
The Ising model was originally developed to model magnetisation of solids in statistical physics. As a network of binary variables with the probability of becoming 'active' dependi…
Learning meets Assessment: On the relation between Item Response Theory and Bayesian Knowledge Tracing
Benjamin Deonovic, Michael Yudelson, Maria Bolsinova +2
Few models have been more ubiquitous in their respective fields than Bayesian knowledge tracing and item response theory. Both of these models were developed to analyze data on lea…
