Interpretable factorization of clinical questionnaires to identify latent factors of psychopathology
Researchers have developed a new method called interpretable constrained questionnaire factorization (ICQF) to better analyze clinical questionnaire data. This non-negative matrix factorization technique is designed to improve the interpretability and stability of identified latent factors related to psychopathology. ICQF has demonstrated effectiveness in preserving diagnostic information and outperforming other methods, particularly with smaller datasets, according to validations on synthetic and real-world clinical data.
