Unrestricted Mixture Models for Class Identification in Growth Mixture Modeling
Growth mixture modeling has gained much attention in applied and methodological social science research recently, but the selection of the number of latent classes for such models remains a challenging issue, especially when the assumption of proper model specification is violated. The current simulation study compared the performance of a linear growth mixture model (GMM) for determining the c...
متن کاملGrowth mixture modeling with non-normal distributions.
A limiting feature of previous work on growth mixture modeling is the assumption of normally distributed variables within each latent class. With strongly non-normal outcomes, this means that several latent classes are required to capture the observed variable distributions. Being able to relax the assumption of within-class normality has the advantage that a non-normal observed distribution do...
متن کاملLatent Growth Mixture Modeling: a Simulation Study
Latent growth curve modeling (LGM) combined with the latent classes (LGMM) in the SEM context, is the method under investigation in this study. This dynamic way of analyzing longitudinal data takes an increasingly central position in the social sciences, e.g. in psychology. Despite twenty years development of the theory behind the LGM and LGMM, these are novel methods in analyzing data in pract...
متن کاملLatent Markov and growth mixture models for ordinal individual responses with covariates: A comparison
ment, RBFR12SHVV. Objective: We review two alternative ways of modeling stability and change of longitudinal data by using time-fixed and time-varying covariates for the observed individuals. Both the methods build on the foundation of finite mixture models, and are commonly applied in many fields but they look at the data from different perspectives. Our attempt is to make comparisons when the...
متن کاملGrowth Mixture Modeling of Depression Symptoms Following Traumatic Brain Injury
Growth Mixture Modeling (GMM) was used to investigate the longitudinal trajectory of groups (classes) of depression symptoms, and how these groups were predicted by the covariates of age, sex, severity, and length of hospitalization following Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in a group of 1074 individuals (696 males, and 378 females) from the Royal Hobart Hospital, who sustained a TBI. The study be...
