factor Analysis

2002-01-26 Thread Huxley

Hi,
I've got a question. Does anyone know how to set object in 2-factor
dimensional space i.e I have 2 factor score. Therefore I can put variables
in this space. But variables describe objects (i.e. these are 12 consumer
products) and I don't care variables in space but only these products.
I heard that factor score for a product is equal to product of the suitable
factor loadings and variables mean. i.e.
f(m,p)=a(1,m)u(1,p) +a(2,m)u(2,p)+ ...+a(j,m)u(j,p)
where: f(m,d) - factor score for m-factor,  p-th - consumer product , u(*) -
mean for variable j and product p.
Could you tell me is this true? How to proof this formally

Re: CONTENT ANALYSIS

2002-01-26 Thread Normand Peladeau

Luis,

I suggests you starts with the following site:

http://www.gsu.edu/~wwwcom/

From there, you can get links to CONTENT, the internet mailing list and to
several other web sites including these excellent ones:

http://academic.csuohio.edu/kneuendorf/content
An extensive site that supports users of Neuendorf's The Content
Analysis Guidebook.

http://www.content-analysis.de/
Matthias Romppel's rather large and useful site.

www.textanalysis.info
Harald Klein's site provides useful information regarding software for
text analysis.

There are numerous content analysis software out there.  Don't forget to
look at our own content analysis module namedWordStat which is integrated
within Simstat, a general statistical software.  You can get information on
our software from:

www.simstat.com

and more specifically on the content analysis module from:

www.simstat.com/wordstat.htm

 Hi to all

 I´m conducting a study around electronic content analysis. Any
 information / references would be wellcome: links, books, thoughts,
 etc.

 My main question / concern is: To what extent is it possible today for
 computers to generate summaries on articles, books, etc. using neural
 networks, simple word counting, etc. ?

 I would enjoy to exchange some thoughts about this issue as well

 Thanks

 Luis García de la Fuente

Re: coefficient in logistic regression

2002-01-26 Thread Timothy W. Victor

Assuming you have coded everything correctly, I would look at something
called complete or quasi-complete separation. These conditions often
lead to grossly inflated coefficients.

 Hi,
 
 
 
 I have a multiple logistic regression. Among the predictors, I have 6
 variables that represent the dummies for an interaction term (the
 seventh is the reference category and is not included in analysis). I
 have obtained for five of these variables extremely large
 coefficients: exp(b) ranges from 90,000 to 166,000.
 
 
 
 Could you please tell me if it is normal to have such values for
 exp(b)? Do you think it is something wrong?
 
 
 
 Thank you very much

Re: coefficient in logistic regression

2002-01-26 Thread Kevin C. Heslin

Something from Greenland and Rothman's book Modern Epidemiology (page 258)
may apply here:

there is a hallmark sysmptom of the bias that arises when stratification
has exceeded the limits of the data: The exposure effect estimates begin to
get further and further from the null as more variables are added to the
stratification or regression model. [...] This inflation is sometimes
mistakenly interpreted as evidence of confounding, but in our experience is
more often bias due to applying large-sample methods to excessively sparse
data.

how many variables are in your model?  maybe you're stratifying so much
that you're ending up with near-empty cells.
