Categorical Data Categorical Data Santiago Barreda LSA Summer Institute 2019 Normally-distributed data • We have been modelling data with normally-distributed residuals. • In other words: the data is normally- distributed around the mean predicted by the model. Predicting Position by Height • We will invert the questions we’ve been considering. • Can we predict position from player characteristics? Using an OLS Regression Using an OLS Regression Using an OLS Regression • Not bad but we can do better. In particular: • There are hard bounds on our outcome variable. • The boundaries affect possible errors: i.e., the 1 position cannot be underestimated but the 2 can. • There is nothing ‘between’ the outcomes. • There are specialized models for data with these sorts of characteristics. The Generalized Linear Model • We can break up a regression model into three components: • The systematic component. • The random component. • The link function. 푦 = 푎 + 훽 ∗ 푥 + 푒 The Systematic Component • This is our regression equation. • It specifies a deterministic relationship between the predictors and the predicted value. • In the absence of noise and with the correct model, we would expect perfect prediction. μ = 푎 + 훽 ∗ 푥 Predicted value. Not the observation. The Random Component • Unpredictable variation conditional on the fitted value. • This specifies the nature of that variation. • The fitted value is the mean parameter of a probability distribution. μ = 푎 + 훽 ∗ 푥 푦~푁표푟푚푎푙(휇, 휎2) 푦~퐵푒푟푛표푢푙푙(휇) Bernoulli Distribution • Unlike the normal, this distribution generates only values of 1 and 0. • It has only a single parameter, which must be between 0 and 1. • The parameter is the probability of observing an outcome of 1 (or 1-P of 0). 푦~퐵푒푟푛표푢푙푙(휇) [1,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,1,1] The Link Function • We are modeling lines.

The Logit Link Function • Maps the entire number line to a range between 0 and 1. • The logistic function (logit) maps probabilities to logits, while its inverse (ilogit, logistic) maps logits to probabilities. log(푝) exp(푧) 푧 = 푝 = log(1 − 푝) 푧 1 + exp(푧) p Logit logit(푝) Probability Probability ilogit(푧) Can we Distinguish SF and SG? • We predict the logit of the probability that a player is a small forward as a function of their height. • This is then turned into a probability and used in a Bernouilli distribution. 푙표푔푡(푎 + 퐻 ∗ ℎ푒푔ℎ푡) 푎 + 퐻 ∗ ℎ푒푔ℎ푡 (Fitted value) value) (Fitted Fitted value value Fitted ilogit Can we Distinguish PF and SG?

Ordinal Logistic Regression • We can use softmax regression whether our outcome categories are inherently ordered or not. • But if our categories are inherently ordered, we may prefer ordinal logistic regression. • This method allows us to predict categorical responses when the response categories have an inherent order. Likert Scales • Likert scales involve collecting categorical ordered responses, usually a few integers or phrases connoting degree of opinion (DBDA2, pg. 681). • Categorical responses are meant to reflect an underlying metric variable. • Responses are meant to be averaged, yielding a metric variable that can be analyzed using normal- theory statistics. Likert Scales • The individual responses can be directly modeled using ordinal logistic regression. • Ordinal logistic analyses can provide more information than analyses involving averaging. Ordinal Logistic Regression • Responses are assumed to depend on an underlying continuous value. • Conceptually, a normal distribution is placed a given location along this continuous value 푥 Ordinal Logistic Regression • We estimate the 휇 and 휎 of the distribution. • We also estimate J-1 ‘thresholds’ for J response values.

  • Deep Neural Networks for Choice Analysis: Architecture Design with Alternative-Specific Utility Functions Shenhao Wang Baichuan
    Deep Neural Networks for Choice Analysis: Architecture Design with Alternative-Specific Utility Functions Shenhao Wang Baichuan Mo Jinhua Zhao Massachusetts Institute of Technology Abstract Whereas deep neural network (DNN) is increasingly applied to choice analysis, it is challenging to reconcile domain-specific behavioral knowledge with generic-purpose DNN, to improve DNN's interpretability and predictive power, and to identify effective regularization methods for specific tasks. To address these challenges, this study demonstrates the use of behavioral knowledge for designing a particular DNN architecture with alternative-specific utility functions (ASU-DNN) and thereby improving both the predictive power and interpretability. Unlike a fully connected DNN (F-DNN), which computes the utility value of an alternative k by using the attributes of all the alternatives, ASU-DNN computes it by using only k's own attributes. Theoretically, ASU- DNN can substantially reduce the estimation error of F-DNN because of its lighter architecture and sparser connectivity, although the constraint of alternative-specific utility can cause ASU- DNN to exhibit a larger approximation error. Empirically, ASU-DNN has 2-3% higher prediction accuracy than F-DNN over the whole hyperparameter space in a private dataset collected in Singapore and a public dataset available in the R mlogit package. The alternative-specific connectivity is associated with the independence of irrelevant alternative (IIA) constraint, which as a domain-knowledge-based regularization method is more effective than the most popular generic-purpose explicit and implicit regularization methods and architectural hyperparameters. ASU-DNN provides a more regular substitution pattern of travel mode choices than F-DNN does, rendering ASU-DNN more interpretable.

  • Pseudo-Learning Effects in Reinforcement Learning Model-Based Analysis: a Problem Of
    Pseudo-learning effects in reinforcement learning model-based analysis: A problem of misspecification of initial preference Kentaro Katahira1,2*, Yu Bai2,3, Takashi Nakao4 Institutional affiliation: 1 Department of Psychology, Graduate School of Informatics, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan 2 Department of Psychology, Graduate School of Environment, Nagoya University 3 Faculty of literature and law, Communication University of China 4 Department of Psychology, Graduate School of Education, Hiroshima University 1 Abstract In this study, we investigate a methodological problem of reinforcement-learning (RL) model- based analysis of choice behavior. We show that misspecification of the initial preference of subjects can significantly affect the parameter estimates, model selection, and conclusions of an analysis. This problem can be considered to be an extension of the methodological flaw in the free-choice paradigm (FCP), which has been controversial in studies of decision making. To illustrate the problem, we conducted simulations of a hypothetical reward-based choice experiment. The simulation shows that the RL model-based analysis reports an apparent preference change if hypothetical subjects prefer one option from the beginning, even when they do not change their preferences (i.e., via learning). We discuss possible solutions for this problem. Keywords: reinforcement learning, model-based analysis, statistical artifact, decision-making, preference 2 Introduction Reinforcement-learning (RL) model-based trial-by-trial analysis is an important tool for analyzing data from decision-making experiments that involve learning (Corrado and Doya, 2007; Daw, 2011; O’Doherty, Hampton, and Kim, 2007). One purpose of this type of analysis is to estimate latent variables (e.g., action values and reward prediction error) that underlie computational processes.

  • Mixed Pattern Recognition Methodology on Wafer Maps with Pre-Trained Convolutional Neural Networks
    Mixed Pattern Recognition Methodology on Wafer Maps with Pre-trained Convolutional Neural Networks Yunseon Byun and Jun-Geol Baek School of Industrial Management Engineering, Korea University, Seoul, South Korea {yun-seon, jungeol}@korea.ac.kr Keywords: Classification, Convolutional Neural Networks, Deep Learning, Smart Manufacturing. Abstract: In the semiconductor industry, the defect patterns on wafer bin map are related to yield degradation. Most companies control the manufacturing processes which occur to any critical defects by identifying the maps so that it is important to classify the patterns accurately. The engineers inspect the maps directly. However, it is difficult to check many wafers one by one because of the increasing demand for semiconductors. Although many studies on automatic classification have been conducted, it is still hard to classify when two or more patterns are mixed on the same map. In this study, we propose an automatic classifier that identifies whether it is a single pattern or a mixed pattern and shows what types are mixed. Convolutional neural networks are used for the classification model, and convolutional autoencoder is used for initializing the convolutional neural networks. After trained with single-type defect map data, the model is tested on single-type or mixed- type patterns. At this time, it is determined whether it is a mixed-type pattern by calculating the probability that the model assigns to each class and the threshold. The proposed method is experimented using wafer bin map data with eight defect patterns. The results show that single defect pattern maps and mixed-type defect pattern maps are identified accurately without prior knowledge.

  • Reinforcement Learning with Dynamic Boltzmann Softmax Updates Arxiv
    Reinforcement Learning with Dynamic Boltzmann Softmax Updates Ling Pan1, Qingpeng Cai1, Qi Meng2, Wei Chen2, Longbo Huang1, Tie-Yan Liu2 1IIIS, Tsinghua University 2Microsoft Research Asia Abstract Value function estimation is an important task in reinforcement learning, i.e., prediction. The Boltz- mann softmax operator is a natural value estimator and can provide several benefits. However, it does not satisfy the non-expansion property, and its direct use may fail to converge even in value iteration. In this paper, we propose to update the value function with dynamic Boltzmann softmax (DBS) operator, which has good convergence property in the setting of planning and learning. Experimental results on GridWorld show that the DBS operator enables better estimation of the value function, which rectifies the convergence issue of the softmax operator. Finally, we propose the DBS-DQN algorithm by applying dynamic Boltzmann softmax updates in deep Q-network, which outperforms DQN substantially in 40 out of 49 Atari games. 1 Introduction Reinforcement learning has achieved groundbreaking success for many decision making problems, including roboticsKober et al. (2013), game playingMnih et al. (2015); Silver et al. (2017), and many others. Without full information of transition dynamics and reward functions of the environment, the agent learns an optimal policy by interacting with the environment from experience. Value function estimation is an important task in reinforcement learning, i.e., prediction Sutton (1988); DEramo et al. (2016); Xu et al. (2018). In the prediction task, it requires the agent to have a good estimate of the value function in order to update towards the true value function.
