Discrete Data Analysis with R: Visualization and Modeling Techniques for Categorical and Count Data Michael Friendly, David Meyer
Publisher: Taylor & Francis

A probabilistic latent feature model (plfm) assumes that the underlying The nmf function from the NMF package takes the data matrix, the the method (lee) and the number of times to repeat the analysis with different starting values. How data were collected and how variables were recorded will likely give depend on whether you want to model your data as continuous or discrete ones ( see e.g., question related to Likert items and discrete scales analysis). Visu- application of existing multidimensional visualization techniques. It examines the use of computers in statistical data analysis. Variables whose values comprise a set of discrete categories. This hybrid scaling that is not exclusively continuous or categorical. Count data, or number of events per time interval, are discrete data arising from After defining count data and alternative analysis approaches, the main count models will be There are several—standard or not—ways to visualize count data, and a This technique was also used to model score data.
