Finding archetypal patterns for binary questionnaires
Archetypal analysis is an exploratory tool that explains a set of observations as mixtures of pure (extreme) patterns. If the patterns are actual observations of the sample, we refer to them as archetypoids. For the first time, we propose to use archetypoid analysis for binary observations. This tool can contribute to the understanding of a binary data set, as in the multivariate case. We illustrate the advantages of the proposed methodology in a simulation study and two applications, one exploring objects (rows) and the other exploring items (columns). One is related to determining student skill set profiles and the other to describing item response functions.

Archetypal cases for questionnaires with nominal multiple choice questions
Archetypal analysis serves as an exploratory tool that interprets a collection of observations as convex combinations of pure (extreme) patterns. When these patterns correspond to actual observations within the sample, t…
Probabilistic Archetypal Analysis
Archetypal analysis represents a set of observations as convex combinations of pure patterns, or archetypes. The original geometric formulation of finding archetypes by approximating the convex hull of the observations a…
Modeling Human Responses by Ordinal Archetypal Analysis
This paper introduces a novel framework for Archetypal Analysis (AA) tailored to ordinal data, particularly from questionnaires. Unlike existing methods, the proposed method, Ordinal Archetypal Analysis (OAA), bypasses t…
Archetypal Analysis for Binary Data
Archetypal analysis (AA) is a matrix decomposition method that identifies distinct patterns using convex combinations of the data points denoted archetypes with each data point in turn reconstructed as convex combination…
Finding Archetypal Spaces Using Neural Networks
Archetypal analysis is a data decomposition method that describes each observation in a dataset as a convex combination of "pure types" or archetypes. These archetypes represent extrema of a data space in which there is …
