Pang, Bo; Nijkamp, Erik; Wu, Ying Nian – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2020
This review covers the core concepts and design decisions of TensorFlow. TensorFlow, originally created by researchers at Google, is the most popular one among the plethora of deep learning libraries. In the field of deep learning, neural networks have achieved tremendous success and gained wide popularity in various areas. This family of models…

Sweet, Tracy M. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2015
Social networks in education commonly involve some form of grouping, such as friendship cliques or teacher departments, and blockmodels are a type of statistical social network model that accommodate these grouping or blocks by assuming different within-group tie probabilities than between-group tie probabilities. We describe a class of models,…

Andrew Gelman; Daniel Lee; Jiqiang Guo – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2015
Stan is a free and open-source C++ program that performs Bayesian inference or optimization for arbitrary user-specified models and can be called from the command line, R, Python, Matlab, or Julia and has great promise for fitting large and complex statistical models in many areas of application. We discuss Stan from users' and developers'…

Bartolucci, Francesco; Pennoni, Fulvia; Vittadini, Giorgio – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2016
We extend to the longitudinal setting a latent class approach that was recently introduced by Lanza, Coffman, and Xu to estimate the causal effect of a treatment. The proposed approach enables an evaluation of multiple treatment effects on subpopulations of individuals from a dynamic perspective, as it relies on a latent Markov (LM) model that is…

Smithson, Michael; Merkle, Edgar C.; Verkuilen, Jay – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2011
This paper describes the application of finite-mixture general linear models based on the beta distribution to modeling response styles, polarization, anchoring, and priming effects in probability judgments. These models, in turn, enhance our capacity for explicitly testing models and theories regarding the aforementioned phenomena. The mixture…

Verkuilen, Jay; Smithson, Michael – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2012
Doubly bounded continuous data are common in the social and behavioral sciences. Examples include judged probabilities, confidence ratings, derived proportions such as percent time on task, and bounded scale scores. Dependent variables of this kind are often difficult to analyze using normal theory models because their distributions may be quite…

Cohen, Michael P. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2000
Compares the odds ratio with the probability ratio (relative risk). These quantities arise, for example, in the analysis of educational and social science through logistic regression. (Author/SLD)

Kaplan, David – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2005
This article considers the problem of estimating dynamic linear regression models when the data are generated from finite mixture probability density function where the mixture components are characterized by different dynamic regression model parameters. Specifically, conventional linear models assume that the data are generated by a single…

Zwick, Rebecca; Sklar, Jeffrey C. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2005
Cox (1972) proposed a discrete-time survival model that is somewhat analogous to the proportional hazards model for continuous time. Efron (1988) showed that this model can be estimated using ordinary logistic regression software, and Singer and Willett (1993) provided a detailed illustration of a particularly flexible form of the model that…
