Advanced Topics

Abstract

In this chapter we look at a number of “advanced” (or niche) topics in quantification, including quantification for ordinal data, “regression quantification” (the task that stands to regression as “standard” quantification stands to classification), cross-lingual quantification for textual data, quantification for networked data, and quantification for streaming data. The chapter ends with a discussion on how to derive confidence intervals for the class prevalence estimates returned by quantification systems.
