  • 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.

  • Natalie Tennant Leads List of Potential Democratic US Senate
    Natalie Tennant Leads List of Potential Democratic US Senate Candidates MBE Voter Opinion Poll also finds Congresswoman Capito maintains significant lead in General Election match-up; Senator Manchin’s approval rating lower than normal but strong. Embargoed until May 8, 2013 For Interviews and Questions Contact: Mark Blankenship 304.343.1500, [email protected] (Charleston, W.Va.) – A commanding 40% plurality of Democratic primary voters in West Virginia indicate they would vote for Secretary of State Natalie Tennant in a primary election against Supreme Court Justice Robin Davis (12%), attorney Nick Preservati (1%), and attorney Ralph Baxter (1%). according to a new MBE Voter Opinion Poll released by Mark Blankenship Enterprises (MBE). More than two in five Democratic primary voters are undecided in the potential Democratic Primary Election. The survey also finds Congresswoman Capito has a significant 19% point lead over potential Democratic challenger and Supreme Court Justice Robin Davis. More than half (51%) of voters indicate they would vote for Congresswoman Capito in a match-up with Davis. Thirty-two percent say they would vote for Davis, and 18% indicate they are undecided. Senator Joe Manchin’s job approval among all West Virginia voters remains strong at 63% but has decreased noticeably by 7% since March of 2013. The results of the survey do not reflect the opinions of MBE and are meant only to provide insights into public opinion. Democratic Primary Election for US Senate – Ballot Should West Virginia’s Secretary of State Natalie Tennant decide to enter the Democratic primary campaign for US Senate, she would be a very formidable opponent for all other potential Democrats.

  • A Bright Economic Future for the Mountain State
    SERIES TITLE A Bright Economic Future for the Mountain State Economic diversification Jeremy Richardson in West Virginia November 2013 The transition to a clean energy economy is a frighten- ing prospect for states and communities firmly rooted in the fossil fuel economy. Partly as a result, debate about our nation’s energy policy has become toxic in West Virginia and the broader Appalachian region. Discussions of environmental concerns—whether related to importance of coal to West Virginia, and analyzed the economic mountaintop removal, hydraulic fracturing, or climate change— importance of future coal production for the state and the tend to send people to opposing corners, with neither side willing potential to diversify its economy. to budge, or even to engage in civil discourse. And parties too often Even in the heart of coal country, people recognize that focus on the tension between job growth and environmental things are changing. I believe that by concentrating on the protection, assuming that the two are mutually exclusive. opportunities that lie ahead—and by directly addressing the As the son and brother of West Virginia coal miners, I see a challenges we face—we can ensure a vibrant future for desperate need and a timely opportunity for a more constructive generations of West Virginians to come. conversation.
