In recent years, work has been carried out on clustering gene expression microarray data. Some approaches are developed from an algorithmic viewpoint whereas others are developed via the application of mixture models. In ...
Ranked preference data arise when a set of judges rank, in order of their preference, a set of objects. Such data arise in preferential voting systems and market
research surveys. Covariate data associated with the judges ...
A new family of mixture models for the model-based clustering of longitudinal data is introduced.
The covariance structures of eight members of this new family of models are given and the associated maximum likelihood ...
Irish elections use a voting system called proportion representation by means of a single transferable vote(PR-STV). Under this system, voters express their vote by ranking some (or all) of the candidates in order of ...
A voting bloc is defined to be a group of voters who have similar voting preferences. The cleavage of the Irish electorate into voting blocs is of interest. Irish elections employ a 'single transferable vote' electoral ...
The Irish college admissions system involves prospective students listing up to 10 courses in order of preference on their application. Places in third-level educational institutions are subsequently offered to the applicants ...
Social network data represent the interactions between a group of social actors. Interactions between colleagues and friendship networks are typical examples of such data. The latent space model for social network data ...
In this paper we propose a Bayesian nonparametric model for clustering partial ranking data.We start by developing a Bayesian nonparametric extension of the popular Plackett-Luce choice model that can handle an infinite ...
A model based clustering procedure for data of mixed type, clustMD, is developed using a latent variable model. It is proposed that a latent variable, following a mixture of Gaussian distributions, generates the observed ...
