Wind energy has the advantages of being clean, having a zero-cost primary energy source (wind) and having low operating and maintenance costs. Despite these advantages, it is difficult to manage due to its variable condition. Recently, there has been an explosion of forecasting tools to...

An original and meaningful probabilistic generative model for full rank data modelling is proposed. Rank data arise from a sorting mechanism which is generally unobservable for statisticians. Assuming that this process relies on paired comparisons, the insertion sort algorithm is known as being...

The authors present a generalization of the multiple-group bifactor model that extends the classical bifactor model for categorical outcomes by relaxing the typical assumption of independence of the specific dimensions. In addition to the means and variances of all dimensions, the correlations...
