Locality-sensitive hashing techniques have been developed to efficiently handle nearest neighbor searches and similar pair identification problems for large volumes of high-dimensional data. This study proposes a locality-sensitive hashing method that can be applied to nearest neighbor search problems for data sets containing both numerical and categorical attributes. The proposed method makes use of dual hashing functions, where one function is dedicated to numerical attributes and the other to categorical attributes. The method consists of creating indexing structures for each of the dual hashing functions, gathering and combining the candidates sets, and thoroughly examining them to determine the nearest ones. The proposed method is examined for a few synthetic data sets, and results show that it improves performance in cases of large amounts of data with both numerical and categorical attributes.

This paper studies Bayesian pooling for analysis of categorical data from small areas. Many surveys consist of categorical data collected on a contingency table in each area. Statistical inference for small areas requires considerable care because the subpopulation sample sizes are usually very small. Typically we use the hierarchical Bayesian model for pooling subpopulation data. However, the customary hierarchical Bayesian models may specify more exchangeability than warranted. We, therefore, investigate the effects of pooling in hierarchical Bayesian modeling for the contingency table from small areas. In specific, this paper focuses on the methods of direct or indirect pooling of categorical data collected on a contingency table in each area through Dirichlet priors. We compare the pooling effects of hierarchical Bayesian models by fitting the simulated data. The analysis is carried out using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods.

This paper deals with a comparison between Taguchi's accumulation analysis method and Nair test on the ordered categorical data from an industrial experiment for quality improvement. a result of Taguchi's accumulation analysis method is shown to have reasonable power for detecting location effects, while Nair test identifies the location and dispersion effects separately, Accordingly, Taguchi's accumulation analysis needs to develop methods for detecting dispersion effects as well as location effects. In addition this paper rewmmends models for analyzing ordered categorical data, for examples, the cumulative legit model, mean response model etc Successively simple, reasonable methods should be introduced more likely to be used by the practitioners.

Accumulation analysis is difficult to analyze the ordered categorical data except smaller-the-better type problem. The purpose of this paper is to develop the statistic and method that can be easily applied to general type of problem, including nominal-the-best type problem. The experimental data of contact window process is analyzed and new procedure is compared with accumulation analysis.

Linear-by-linear association models are commonly used to analyze ordered categorical data. To fit these models appropriate scores need to be chosen. In this paper we perform sensitivity analyses in two-way contingency tables to investigate the effect of scores on goodness-of-fits and on tests of significance. In addition we show that the best score which yields the best fit of data can be selected based on the sensitivity analysis results.

Various kinds of estimation methods have been developed for imputation of categorical missing data. They include modal category method, logistic regression, and association rule. In this study, we propose two imputation methods (neural network fusion and voting fusion) that combine the results of individual imputation methods. A Monte-Carlo simulation is used to compare the performance of these methods. Five factors used to simulate the missing data are (1) true model for the data, (2) data size, (3) noise size (4) percentage of missing data, and (5) missing pattern. Overall, neural network fusion performed the best while voting fusion is better than the individual imputation methods, although it was inferior to the neural network fusion. Result of an additional real data analysis confirms the simulation result.

일종의 혼합다항분포 모형이라고 볼 수 있는 잠재범주모형은 범주형 자료에서 직접 관측되지 않은 중요한 정보를 얻어낼 수 있는 유용한 도구이다. 하지만 자료에 범주형 변수 뿐 아니라 연속형 변수 혹은 빈도형 변수가 함께 포함되어 있을 경우 이 모형을 직접적으로 사용할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 특히 범주형 변수와 빈도형 변수가 함께 포함되어 있는 경우에 잠재범주모형인 혼합모드 잠재범주모형을 사용하여 텍스트 후기와 범주형 응답문항이 모두 포함된 의약품 사용 후기자료를 분석하였다. 이 분석을 통해 범주형 응답만을 사용한 보통의 잠재범주 모형에 비해 텍스트 자료를 함께 사용한 혼합모드 잠재범주모형을 사용했을때 잠재범주에 대한 보다 자세한 정보를 얻을 수 있는 것을 확인하였다.

Basic objective in cluster analysis is to discover natural groupings of items or variables. In general, variable clustering was conducted based on some similarity measures between variables which have binary characteristics. We propose a variable clustering method when variables have more categories ordered in some sense. We also consider some measures of association as a similarity between variables. Numerical example is included.
