  • 1 the Evolution of Blogs the Political Blogosphere Has Changed a Lot
    The Evolution of Blogs The political blogosphere has changed a lot since I first starting blogging. Six years ago I set up a little blog to chronicle my life in New York City. The intended audience for the blog was my husband, who read it in the office while chomping on a bologna sandwich at lunch. I had no grand designs of becoming a media celebrity or single handedly taking down the newspaper industry or changing the course of American politics – which is a good thing, because that never happened. I wanted to write stuff about my kids, my job, and political events that were tied to my academic pursuits. My first posts were about a roof party in the city and the trials of doing laundry in a fourth floor walk-up. After a few months, I began to write more substantive posts and linked to other bloggers. They linked back to me, and I gained a modest audience. I networked with bigger name bloggers and gained a deeper understanding of blogging practices. I learned how to write a post that would get noticed by others, how to keep my cool when a crackpot attacked me, and how to avoid writing snarky posts about friends and family. Blogging became a big part of my life. I spent nearly five hours of every weekday writing blog posts, reading other people’s blogs, monitoring traffic sources, looking for blog fodder, and responding to e-mails from readers. I blogged while my kids napped and after teaching classes at Hunter College. I blogged instead of watching television.

  • A Note on Statistical Inference for Noisy Incomplete 1-Bit Matrix∗
    A Note on Statistical Inference for Noisy Incomplete 1-Bit Matrix∗ Yunxiao Chen1, Chengcheng Li2, and Gongjun Xu2 1Department of Statistics, London School of Economics and Political Science 2Department of Statistics, University of Michigan Abstract We consider the statistical inference for noisy incomplete 1-bit matrix. Instead of observing a subset of real-valued entries of a matrix M, we only have one binary (1-bit) measurement for each entry in this subset, where the binary measurement follows a Bernoulli distribution whose success probability is determined by the value of the entry. Despite the importance of uncertainty quantification to matrix completion, most of the categorical matrix completion literature focus on point estimation and prediction. This paper moves one step further towards the statistical inference for 1-bit matrix completion. Under a popular nonlinear factor analysis model, we obtain a point estimator and derive its asymptotic distribution for any linear form of M and latent factor scores. Moreover, our analysis adopts a flexible missing-entry design that does not require a random sampling scheme as required by most of the existing asymptotic results for matrix completion. The proposed estimator is statistically efficient and optimal, in the sense that the Cramer-Rao lower bound is achieved asymptotically for the model parameters. arXiv:2105.01769v1 [math.ST] 4 May 2021 Two applications are considered, including (1) linking two forms of an educational test and (2) linking the roll call voting records from multiple years in the United States senate. The first application enables the comparison between examinees who took different test forms, and the second application allows us to compare the liberal-conservativeness of senators who did not serve in the senate at the same time.
