Multilevel Latent Class Models
The latent class (LC) models that have been developed so far assume that observations are independent. Parametric and nonparametric random-coefficient LC models are proposed here, which will make it possible to modify this assumption. For example, the models can be used for the analysis of data collected with complex sampling designs, data with a multilevel structure, and multiple-group data fo...
متن کاملLatent class and finite mixture models for multilevel data sets.
An extension of latent class (LC) and finite mixture models is described for the analysis of hierarchical data sets. As is typical in multilevel analysis, the dependence between lower-level units within higher-level units is dealt with by assuming that certain model parameters differ randomly across higher-level observations. One of the special cases is an LC model in which group-level differen...
متن کاملMultilevel latent class models with dirichlet mixing distribution.
Latent class analysis (LCA) and latent class regression (LCR) are widely used for modeling multivariate categorical outcomes in social science and biomedical studies. Standard analyses assume data of different respondents to be mutually independent, excluding application of the methods to familial and other designs in which participants are clustered. In this article, we consider multilevel lat...
متن کاملLatent class CUB models
The paper proposes a latent class version of CUB models for ordinal data to account for unobserved heterogeneity. The extension, called LC-CUB, is useful when the heterogeneity is originated by clusters of respondents not identified by covariates: this may generate a multimodal response distribution, which cannot be adequately described by a standard CUB model. The LC-CUBmodel is a finite mixtu...
متن کاملLatent Class Models
Over the past several years more significant books have been published on latent class and other types of finite mixture models than any other class of statistical models. The recent increase in interest in latent class models is due to the development of extended computer algorithms, which allow today's computers to perform latent class analysis on data containing more than just a few variable...
