Feature Selection based on the Local Lift Dependence Scale
Diego Marcondes, Adilson Simonis, Junior Barrera
This paper uses a classical approach to feature selection: minimization of a cost function applied on estimated joint distributions. However, the search space in which such minimiz…
A survey of a hurdle model for heavy-tailed data based on the generalized lambda distribution
Diego Marcondes, Cláudia Peixoto, Ana Carolina Maia
In this survey we present an extensive research of the vast literature about the Generalized Lambda Distribution (GLD) and propose a hurdle, or two-way, model whose associated dist…
A Nonparametric Statistical Approach to Content Analysis of Items
Diego Marcondes, Nilton Rogerio Marcondes
In order to use psychometric instruments to assess a multidimensional construct, we may decompose it in dimensions and, in order to assess each dimension, develop a set of items, s…
Random Coin Tossing with unknown bias
Diego Marcondes, Cláudia Peixoto
Consider a coin tossing experiment which consists of tossing one of two coins at a time, according to a renewal process. The first coin is fair and the second has probability $1/2…
Stopping Times of Random Walks on a Hypercube
Cláudia Peixoto, Diego Marcondes
A random walk on a -dimensional hypercube is a discrete time stochastic process whose state space is the set , which has uniform probability of reaching any neigh…
