    Graphical model using copulas for measurement error modeling.

    No full text
    In this paper the use of non-parametric Bayesian belief networks for modeling measurement error in Italian Survey on Household Income and Wealth 2008 is investigated. Non-parametric Bayesian belief networks are graphical models expressing the dependence structure between the marginals through the use of bivariate copulas associated to the arcs of the graph. Thanks to their directed structure, non-parametric Bayesian belief networks can be easily used for measurement error correction

    Statistical Micro Matching Using Bayesian Networks

    No full text
    The goal of statistical matching, at a micro level, is the construction of a synthetic data source where all the variables of interest are available. In this paper we propose the use of Bayesian Networks to deal with the statistical matching for multivariate categorical variables in the micro approach. Its performance is evaluated by an application to a real data set

    Measurement error modelling using object-oriented Bayesian networks

    No full text
    Variables are rarely, if ever, measured without error. In this paper we propose to use the Object-Oriented Bayesian Networks architecture to model measurement errors. A mixed measurement error model is introduced to model the respondent error. Then an Object-Oriented Bayesian network, implementing the model above, is developed to represent how the actually observed values are generated from the original ones. Furthermore, potentialities and possible extensions of such an approach are discussed
