Doubly Latent Multilevel Analyses of Classroom Climate: An Illustration

RUNNING HEAD: Multilevel Analysis of Climate Effects Doubly Latent Multilevel Analyses of Classroom Climate: An illustration

Many classroom climate studies suffer from two critical problems. They: (a) treat climate as a studentlevel (L1) variable in single-level analyses instead of a classroom-level (L2) construct in multilevel analyses; and (b) rely on manifest-variable models rather than latent-variable models that control measurement error at L1 and L2, and sampling error in the aggregation of L1 ratings to form L...

An ethnographic study of latent thermal pleasure in the tradition of desert climate architecture

The architectural tradition of the desert climate has both hidden and hidden teachings. The creation of rich sensory spaces is one of the gifts that the architecture of this context offers to its inhabitants. A considerable part of human sensory experiences in different spaces is formed by heat. Heat, like other sensory stimuli, can contribute to the richness of human perception of the environm...

An implied latent position process for doubly stochastic messaging activities

This paper studies the problem of identifying an inhomogeneous interaction structure amongst social agents. We construct the social network by a random graph and model the messaging activities via a multi-channel self-exciting point process. We design a methodology that divides the agents into two disjoint groups so that members within each group are considered to be of similar attributes. Our ...
