Recently, a tensor factorization based method for a low tubal rank tensor completion problem of a third order tensor was proposed, which performed better than some existing methods. Tubal rank is only defined on one mode of third order…

An extension of the latent class model is presented for clustering categorical data by relaxing the classical "class conditional independence assumption" of variables. This model consists in grouping the variables into inter-independent and…

Identifying causal treatment (or exposure) effects in observational studies requires the data to satisfy the unconfoundedness assumption which is not testable using the observed data. With sensitivity analysis, one can determine how the…
