Among the statisticians and computer scientists who have disclosed their techniques, the emphasis has been on machine learning approaches. This article has the modest goal of discussing a simple model for movie rating and other forms of democratic rating. Because the model involves a large number of parameters, it is nontrivial to carry out maximum likelihood estimation. Here we derive a straightforward EM algorithm from the perspective of the more general MM algorithm. The algorithm is capable of finding the global maximum on a likelihood landscape littered with inferior modes. We apply two variants of the model to a dataset from the MovieLens archive and compare their results. Our model identifies quirky raters, redefines the raw rankings, and permits imputation of missing ratings. The model is intended to stimulate discussion and development of better theory rather than to win the prize. It has the added benefit of introducing readers to some of the issues connected with analyzing high-dimensional data.","PeriodicalId":50801,"journal":{"name":"American Statistician","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1198/tast.2009.08278","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"29274882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whereas recent computing and methodological advances have permitted increased efficiency in the simulation process, known as variance reduction, such experiments remain limited by their finite nature and hence are subject to uncertainty; when a simulation is run more than once, different results are obtained. However, virtually no emphasis has been placed on reporting the uncertainty, referred to here as Monte Carlo error, associated with simulation results in the published literature, or on justifying the number of replications used. These deserve broader consideration. Here we present a series of simple and practical methods for estimating Monte Carlo error as well as determining the number of replications required to achieve a desired level of accuracy. The issues and methods are demonstrated with two simple examples, one evaluating operating characteristics of the maximum likelihood estimator for the parameters in logistic regression and the other in the context of using the bootstrap to obtain 95% confidence intervals. The results suggest that in many settings, Monte Carlo error may be more substantial than traditionally thought.","PeriodicalId":50801,"journal":{"name":"American Statistician","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2009-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1198/tast.2009.0030","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40192743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We revisit a method termed the discriminant function approach, which leads to closed-form estimators and corresponding standard errors. In its most appealing application, we show that the approach suggests a multiple linear regression of the continuous predictor of interest on the outcome and other covariates, in place of the traditional logistic regression model. If standard diagnostics support the assumptions (including normality of errors) accompanying this linear regression model, the resulting estimator has demonstrable advantages over the usual maximum likelihood estimator via logistic regression. These include improvements in terms of bias and efficiency based on a minimum variance unbiased estimator of the log odds ratio, as well as the availability of an estimate when logistic regression fails to converge due to a separation of data points. Use of the discriminant function approach as described here for multivariable analysis requires less stringent assumptions than those for which it was historically criticized, and is worth considering when the adjusted odds ratio associated with a particular continuous predictor is of primary interest. Simulation and case studies illustrate these points.","PeriodicalId":50801,"journal":{"name":"American Statistician","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2009-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3881534/pdf/nihms536814.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"32012162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
