This is the sigma parameter of the von Mises distribution, which has the same meaning as the imprecision parameter in the traditional mixture model proposed by Zhang & Luck (2008). 2 Note that total = categorical + continuous. For example, a total of 0.90 could be break down into 0.50 cat...
The second goal is to use changes in categorical meaning to explore the macro features of a social system.Smith, Jeffrey ADissertations & Theses - Gradworks
known as Lawvere metric spaces. In this article, we develop model structures on the categoriesR+-CatandR+-Catsymof Lawvere metric spaces and symmetric Lawvere metric spaces, each of which captures different features pertinent to the study of metric spaces. More precisely...

Categorical(also,nominal) data are variables that do not conform to natural ordering, though they can be logically organized into groups (or categories). These may take onnumerical values, but these values do not necessarily carry any mathematical meaning.Example: gender, sport, geographical location...
The main downside is that we can not extend the type after the fact, meaning that all interfaces on SO-HOM-OBJ must take the unaltered type. This is in stark contrast to open types. To find out more about the trade offs and usage in the code-base read the section Open Types versus ...
We first load the data, and select some of the columns for display. (In this tutorial, the termscolumnandvariablewill be used interchangeably, and will have the same meaning asfeature.) We also remove some very high wages (at least in the context of the year 2000) to make the display ...
One of the practical features of IPython notebooks is the ability to plot data inline with our analyses. For example, if we wanted to visualize the distribution of film lengths we could use the command: >>> imdb_ratings.length.plot() ...
The value “1” becomes a standard with a special meaning. However, mutual information 𝐼(𝑋𝑐𝑘:𝑋𝑐𝑘′)I(Xkc:Xk′c) has no reflecting standards. That is why MCE becomes a sensible association measure for two variables. Based on the collection of histograms {𝐺𝑘}𝐾𝑘...
Numerical data, as its name suggests, involves features that are only composed of numbers, such as integers or floating-point values. Categorical data are variables that contain label values rather than numeric values. The number of possible values is often limited to a fixed set. Categorical var...
