On the testability of coarsening assumptions: a hypothesis test for subgroup independence (2017)
Journal Article
Plass, J., Cattaneo, M., Schollmeyer, G., & Augustin, T. (2017). On the testability of coarsening assumptions: a hypothesis test for subgroup independence. International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, 90, 292-306. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijar.2017.07.014

Since coarse(ned) data naturally induce set-valued estimators, analysts often assume coarsening at random (CAR) to force them to be single-valued. Focusing on a coarse categorical response variable and a precisely observed categorical covariate, we r...

The likelihood interpretation as the foundation of fuzzy set theory (2017)
Journal Article
Cattaneo, M. E. G. V. (2017). The likelihood interpretation as the foundation of fuzzy set theory. International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, 90, 333-340. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijar.2017.08.006

In order to use fuzzy sets in real-world applications, an interpretation for the values of membership functions is needed. The history of fuzzy set theory shows that the interpretation in terms of statistical likelihood is very natural, although the...

Empirical interpretation of imprecise probabilities (2017)
Journal Article
Cattaneo, M. (2017). Empirical interpretation of imprecise probabilities. Proceedings of Machine Learning Research, 62, 61-72

This paper investigates the possibility of a frequentist interpretation of imprecise probabilities, by generalizing the approach of Bernoulli’s Ars Conjectandi. That is, by studying, in the case of games of chance, under which assumptions imprecise p... Read More about Empirical interpretation of imprecise probabilities.

Conditional probability estimation (2016)
Journal Article
Cattaneo, M. (2016). Conditional probability estimation. Proceedings of Machine Learning Research, 52, 86-97

This paper studies in particular an aspect of the estimation of conditional probability distributions by maximum likelihood that seems to have been overlooked in the literature on Bayesian networks: The information conveyed by the conditioning event...

The likelihood interpretation of fuzzy data (2016)
Journal Article
Cattaneo, M. E. G. V. (2017). The likelihood interpretation of fuzzy data. Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing, 456, 113-120. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-42972-4_14

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2017. The interpretation of degrees of membership as statistical likelihood is probably the oldest interpretation of fuzzy sets. It allows in particular to easily incorporate fuzzy data and fuzzy infere... Read More about The likelihood interpretation of fuzzy data.

Testing of coarsening mechanisms: Coarsening at random versus subgroup independence (2016)
Journal Article
Cattaneo, M. E. G. V., Augustin, T., Plass, J., & Schollmeyer, G. (2017). Testing of coarsening mechanisms: Coarsening at random versus subgroup independence. Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing, 456, 415-422. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-42972-4_51

Abstract Since coarse(ned) data naturally induce set-valued estimators, analysts often assume coarsening at random (CAR) to force them to be single-valued. Using the PASS data as an example, we re-illustrate the impossibility to test CAR and contrast... Read More about Testing of coarsening mechanisms: Coarsening at random versus subgroup independence.

Transverse fracture properties of green wood and the anatomy of six temperate tree species (2016)
Journal Article
Özden, S., Ennos, A. R., & Cattaneo, M. E. (2017). Transverse fracture properties of green wood and the anatomy of six temperate tree species. Forestry, 90(1), 58-69. https://doi.org/10.1093/forestry/cpw023

© Institute of Chartered Foresters, 2016. All rights reserved. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of wood anatomy and density on the mechanics of fracture when wood is split in the radial-longitudinal (RL) and tangential-longitudinal...

Different distance measures for fuzzy linear regression with Monte Carlo methods (2016)
Journal Article
Cattaneo, M. E., & İçen, D. (2017). Different distance measures for fuzzy linear regression with Monte Carlo methods. Soft Computing, 21(22), 6687-6697. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00500-016-2218-7

The aim of this study was to determine the best distance measure for estimating the fuzzy linear regression model parameters with Monte Carlo (MC) methods. It is pointed out that only one distance measure is used for fuzzy linear regression with MC m... Read More about Different distance measures for fuzzy linear regression with Monte Carlo methods.

Energy efficient scheme based on simultaneous transmission of the local decisions in cooperative spectrum sensing (2016)
Journal Article
Aquino, G. P., Guimarães, D. A., & Cattaneo, M. E. (2016). Energy efficient scheme based on simultaneous transmission of the local decisions in cooperative spectrum sensing. KSII transactions on internet and information systems, 10(3), 996-1015. https://doi.org/10.3837/tiis.2016.03.003

A common concern regarding cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) schemes is the occupied bandwidth and the energy consumption during the transmissions of sensing information to the fusion center over the reporting control channels. This concern is inten... Read More about Energy efficient scheme based on simultaneous transmission of the local decisions in cooperative spectrum sensing.
