A latent variable model is a statistical model that relates a set of observable variables (also called manifest variables or indicators) to a set of latent...

w i j {\displaystyle w_{ij}} are the only observable variables, and the other variables are latent variables. As proposed in the original paper, a sparse...

errors-in-variables model or a measurement error model is a regression model that accounts for measurement errors in the independent variables. In contrast...

projecting the predicted variables and the observable variables to a new space of maximum covariance (see below). Because both the X and Y data are projected...

searches for such joint variations in response to unobserved latent variables. The observed variables are modelled as linear combinations of the potential factors...

unknown state variables using their previous observations. The internal state variables are the smallest possible subset of system variables that can represent...

often referred to as latent trait models. The term latent is used to emphasize that discrete item responses are taken to be observable manifestations of...

some latent variables (variables thought to exist but which can't be directly observed). Additional causal connections link those latent variables to observed...

accounts for observed (and observable) covariates and not latent characteristics. Factors that affect assignment to treatment and outcome but that cannot...

Procedure has been developed to explore which latent dimensions structure responses on a number of observable items (like factor analysis). Mokken scaling...

variable is often referred to as the latent variable and the observed variable is the manifest variable. Such a system is then called an observable (latent...

responses on a p x 1 vector of observable random variables can be used to assign a value to one or more unobserved variable(s) ξ {\displaystyle \xi } . The...

This family of models was proposed by David Blei and John Lafferty and is an extension to Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) that can handle sequential...

parameters must generate different probability distributions of the observable variables. Usually the model is identifiable only under certain technical restrictions...
