An application of Measurement error evaluation using latent class analysis
Latent class analysis (LCA) is a method of evaluating non sampling errors, especially measurement error in categorical data. Biemer (2011) introduced four latent class modeling approaches: probability model parameterization, log linear model, modified path model, and graphical model using path diagrams. These models are interchangeable. Latent class probability models express l...
متن کاملLatent Class Models for Marketing: An Application to Pharmaceuticals
In this paper some extensions of the latent class (LC) approach are applied to analyze the Italian pharmaceutical market. This sector is characterized by a high level of competitiveness, more limited economic budgets than years ago and, at the same time, expensive sales and promotion activities; in this context, it is very important to know the reference market, so to design appropriate marketi...
متن کاملSpatial Latent Gaussian Models: Application to House Prices Data in Tehran City
Latent Gaussian models are flexible models that are applied in several statistical applications. When posterior marginals or full conditional distributions in hierarchical Bayesian inference from these models are not available in closed form, Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are implemented. The component dependence of the latent field usually causes increase in computational time and divergenc...
متن کاملQuasi-symmetric latent class models, with application to rater agreement.
Suppose we observe responses on several categorical variables having the same scale. We consider latent class models for the joint classification that satisfy quasi-symmetry. The models apply when subject-specific response distributions are such that (i) for a given subject, responses on different variables are independent, and (ii) odds ratios comparing marginal distributions of the variables ...
متن کاملStatistical Inference under Latent Class Models, with Application to Risk Assessment in Cancer Survivorship Studies
Motivated by a cancer survivorship program, this PhD thesis aims to develop methodology for risk assessment, classification, and prediction. We formulate the primary data collected from a cohort with two underlying categories, the at-risk and not-at-risk classes, using latent class models, and we conduct both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses. We begin with a maximum pseudo-likelihood e...
