Latent Class Analysis Variable Selection.
We propose a method for selecting variables in latent class analysis, which is the most common model-based clustering method for discrete data. The method assesses a variable's usefulness for clustering by comparing two models, given the clustering variables already selected. In one model the variable contributes information about cluster allocation beyond that contained in the already selected...
متن کاملA latent variable model for multivariate discretization
We describe a new method for multivariate discretization based on the use of a latent variable model. The method is proposed as a tool to extend the scope of applicability of machine learning algorithms that handle discrete variables only.
متن کاملA latent-class mixture model for incomplete longitudinal Gaussian data.
In the analyses of incomplete longitudinal clinical trial data, there has been a shift, away from simple methods that are valid only if the data are missing completely at random, to more principled ignorable analyses, which are valid under the less restrictive missing at random assumption. The availability of the necessary standard statistical software nowadays allows for such analyses in pract...
متن کاملLatent-variable models for longitudinal data with bivariate ordinal outcomes.
We use the concept of latent variables to derive the joint distribution of bivariate ordinal outcomes, and then extend the model to allow for longitudinal data. Specifically, we relate the observed ordinal outcomes using threshold values to a bivariate latent variable, which is then modelled as a linear mixed model. Random effects terms are used to tie all together repeated observations from th...
متن کاملMixture models: latent profile and latent class analysis
Latent class analysis (LCA) and latent profile analysis (LPA) are techniques that aim to recover hidden groups from observed data. They are similar to clustering techniques but more flexible because they are based on an explicit model of the data, and allow you to account for the fact that the recovered groups are uncertain. LCA and LPA are useful when you want to reduce a large number of conti...
