Modern regression methods in data mining
Kopal, Vojtěch ; Holeňa, Martin (advisor) ; Gemrot, Jakub (referee)
The thesis compares several non-linear regression methods on synthetic data sets gen- erated using standard benchmarks for a continuous black-box optimization. For that com- parison, we have chosen the following regression methods: radial basis function networks, Gaussian processes, support vector regression and random forests. We have also included polynomial regression which we use to explain the basic principles of regression. The com- parison of these methods is discussed in the context of black-box optimization problems where the selected methods can be applied as surrogate models. The methods are evalu- ated based on their mean-squared error and on the Kendall's rank correlation coefficient between the ordering of function values according to the model and according to the function used to generate the data. 1

Detection of Differential Item Functioning with Non-Linear Regression: Non-IRT Approach Accounting for Guessing
Drabinová, Adéla ; Martinková, Patrícia
In this article, we present a new method for estimation of Item Response Function and for detection of uniform and non-uniform Differential Item Functioning (DIF) in dichotomous items based on Non-Linear Regression (NLR). Proposed method extends Logistic Regression (LR) procedure by including pseudoguessing parameter. NLR technique is compared to LR procedure and Lord’s and Raju’s statistics for three-parameter Item Response Theory (IRT) models in simulation study based on Graduate Management Admission Test. NLR shows superiority in power at low rejection rate over IRT methods and outperforms LR procedure in power for case of uniform DIF detection. Our research suggests that the newly proposed non-IRT procedure is an attractive and user friendly approach to DIF detection.
