Abstract: |
Dynamic latent variable models generally link units' positions on a latent dimension over time via random walks. Theoretically, these trajectories are often expected to resemble a mixture of periods of stability interrupted by moments of change. In these cases, a prior distribution such as the regularized horseshoe---that allows for both stasis and change---can prove a better theoretical and empirical fit for the underlying construct than other priors. Replicating Reuning, Kenwick, and Fariss (2019), we find that the regularized horseshoe performs better than the standard normal and the Student's t-distribution when modelling dynamic latent variable models. Overall, the use of the regularized horseshoe results in more accurate and precise estimates. More broadly, the regularized horseshoe is a promising prior for many similar applications. |
