Abstract: Abstract Under the Bayesian approach, posterior predictive model checking (PPMC) has become a popular tool for fit assessment of item response theory (IRT) models. In this study, we propose the use of the Hellinger distance… read more here.

Abstract: We present an empirical estimator for the squared Hellinger distance between two continuous distributions, which almost surely converges. We show that the divergence estimation problem can be solved directly using the empirical CDF and does… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/sym15020500
Abstract: Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs), as a representative variant of fuzzy sets, has substantial advantages in managing and modeling uncertain information, so it has been widely studied and applied. Nevertheless, how to perfectly measure the similarities… read more here.
