1 Day 10: Additional Scaling Issues Kenneth Benoit Essex Summer School 2011 July 22, 2011
2 Problems to solve I: Conditional (non-)independence Words occur in order In occur words order. Occur order words in. No more training do you require. Already know you that which you need. (Yoda) Words occur in combinations carbon tax / income tax / inhertiance tax / capital gains tax / bank tax Sentences (and topics) occur in sequence (extreme serial correlation) Style may mean means we are likely to use synonyms very probable. In fact it s very distinctly possible, to be expected, odds-on, plausible, imaginable; expected, anticipated, predictable, predicted, foreseeable.) Rhetoric may lead to repetition. ( Yes we can! ) anaphora
3 Problems to solve II: Parametric (stochastic) model Poisson assumes Var(Y ij ) = E(Y ij ) = λ ij For many reasons, we are likely to encounter overdispersion or underdispersion overdispersion when informative words tend to cluster together underdispersion could (possibly) occur when words of high frequency are uninformative and have relatively low between-text variation (once length is considered) This should be a word-level parameter
4 Overdispersion in German manifesto data (from Slapin and Proksch 2008) Average Absolute Value of Residuals Log Word Frequency
5 How to account for uncertainty? Don t. (SVD-like methods, e.g. correspondence analysis) Analytical derivatives Parametric bootstrapping (Slapin and Proksch, Lewis and Poole) Non-parametric bootstrapping (and yes of course) Posterior sampling from MCMC
6 Steps forward Diagnose (and ultimately treat) the issue of whether a separate variance parameter is needed Diagnose (and treat) violations of conditional independence Explore non-parametric methods to estimate uncertainty

15 The Way Forward Parametric Poisson model with variance parameter ( negative binomial with parameter for over- or under-dispersion at the word level, could use CML Block Bootstrap resampling schemes text unit blocks (sentences, paragraphs) fixed length blocks variable length blocks could be overlapping or adjacent More detailed investigation of feasible methods for characterizing fundamental uncertainty from non-parametric scaling models (CA and others based on SVD)
16 The Negative Binomial model Generalize the Poisson model to: f nb (y i λ i, σ 2 ) where : σ 2 is the variability (a new parameter v. Poisson) λi is the expected number of events for i λ is the average of individual λi s Here we have dropped Poisson assumption that λ i = λ i New assumption: Assume that λ i is a random variable following a gamma distribution (takes on only non-negative numbers) For the NB model, Var(Y i ) = λ i σ 2 for λ i > 0 and σ 2 > 0
17 The Negative Binomial model cont. For the NB model, Var(Y i ) = λ i σ 2 for λ i > 0 and σ 2 > 0 How to interpret σ 2 in the negative binomial when σ 2 = 1.0, negative binomial Poisson when σ 2 > 1, then it means there is overdispersion in Y i caused by correlated events, or heterogenous λ i when σ 2 < 1 it means something strange is going on When σ 2 1, then Poisson results will be inefficient and standard errors inconsistent Functional form: same as Poisson Variance of λ is now: E(y i ) = λ Var(y i ) = λ i σ 2 = e X i β σ 2
18 Problems to Solve III: Integrating non-parametric methods Non-parametric methods are algorithmic, involving no parameters in the procedure that are estimated Hence there is no uncertainty accounting given distributional theory Advantage: don t have to make assumptions Disadvantages: cannot leverage probability conclusions given distribtional assumptions and statistical theory results highly fit to the data not really assumption-free, if we are honest
19 Correspondence Analysis CA is like factor analysis for categorical data Following normalization of the marginals, it uses Singular Value Decomposition to reduce the dimensionality of the word-by-text matrix This allows projection of the positioning of the words as well as the texts into multi-dimensional space The number of dimensions as in factor analysis can be decided based on the eigenvalues from the SVD
20 Correspondence Analysis contd. There are also problems with bootstrapping: (Milan and Whittaker 2004) rotation of the principal components inversion of singular values reflection in an axis
21 How to account for uncertainty? Don t. (SVD-like methods, e.g. correspondence analysis) Analytical derivatives Parametric bootstrapping (Slapin and Proksch, Lewis and Poole) Non-parametric bootstrapping (and yes of course) Posterior sampling from MCMC
22 Methods of uncertainty accounting in text scaling MCMC Conditional ML SVD-based Algorithmic Uncertainty accounting (multinomial+)(poisson) (CA) (Wordscores) Posterior sampling Analytical??? Parametric bootstrap Non-parametric BS?
