Identifiability of extended latent class models with individual covariates
Identifiability for a very flexible family of latent class models introduced recently is examined. These models allow for a conditional association between selected pairs of response variables conditionally on the latent and are based on logistic regression models both for the latent weights and for the conditional distributions of the response variables in terms of subject specific covariates....
متن کاملLatent Class Models for Algorithm Portfolio Methods
Different solvers for computationally difficult problems such as satisfiability (SAT) perform best on different instances. Algorithm portfolios exploit this phenomenon by predicting solvers’ performance on specific problem instances, then shifting computational resources to the solvers that appear best suited. This paper develops a new approach to the problem of making such performance predicti...
متن کاملStatistical power of likelihood ratio and Wald tests in latent class models with covariates
This paper discusses power and sample-size computation for likelihood ratio and Wald testing of the significance of covariate effects in latent class models. For both tests, asymptotic distributions can be used; that is, the test statistic can be assumed to follow a central Chi-square under the null hypothesis and a non-central Chi-square under the alternative hypothesis. Power or sample-size c...
متن کاملThree-step estimation of latent Markov models with covariates
We propose a modified version of the three-step estimation method for the latent class model with covariates, which may be used to estimate a latent Markov (LM) model with individual covariates and possible dropout. We illustrate the proposed approach through an application finalized to the study of the health status of elderly people hosted in Italian nursing homes. This application is based o...
متن کاملLatent class models for classification
An overview is provided of recent developments in the use of latent class (LC) and other types of %nite mixture models for classi%cation purposes. Several extensions of existing models are presented. Two basic types of LC models for classi%cation are de%ned: supervised and unsupervised structures. Their most important special cases are presented and illustrated with an empirical example. c © 20...
