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)

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.

Testing of coarsening mechanisms: Coarsening at random versus subgroup independence (2016)
Journal Article

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.
