This paper discusses a general framework for the analysis of rating and preference data that is rooted on a class of mixtures of discrete random variables. These models have been …
We propose a probabilistic framework for the treatment of “don't know” responses in surveys aimed at investigating human perceptions through expressed ratings. The rationale behind …
Ordinal measurements as ratings, preference and evaluation data are very common in applied disciplines, and their analysis requires a proper modelling approach for …
We design a probability distribution for ordinal data by modeling the process generating data, which is assumed to rely only on order comparisons between categories. Contrariwise …
In several applied disciplines, as Economics, Marketing, Business, Sociology, Psychology, Political science, Environmental research and Medicine, it is common to collect data in the …
In CUB models the uncertainty of choice is explicitly modelled as a Combination of discrete Uniform and shifted Binomial random variables. The basic concept to model the response as …

In dealing with veracity of data analytics, fuzzy methods are more and more relying on probabilistic and statistical techniques to underpin their applicability. Conversely, standard …
Literature on the models for ordinal variables grew very fast in the last decades and several proposals have been advanced when ordered data are expression of ratings, preferences …

The paper is framed within the literature around Louis' identity for the observed information matrix in incomplete data problems, with a focus on the implied acceleration of maximum …
