Structured latent growth curves for twin data.
We describe methods to fit structured latent growth curves to data from MZ and DZ twins. The well-known Gompertz, logistic and exponential curves may be written as a function of three components - asymptote, initial value, and rate of change. These components are allowed to vary and covary within individuals in a structured latent growth model. Such models are highly economical, requiring a sma...
متن کاملDiscriminative Embeddings of Latent Variable Models for Structured Data
Kernel classifiers and regressors designed for structured data, such as sequences, trees and graphs, have significantly advanced a number of interdisciplinary areas such as computational biology and drug design. Typically, kernels are designed beforehand for a data type which either exploit statistics of the structures or make use of probabilistic generative models, and then a discriminative cl...
متن کاملDiscriminative Embeddings of Latent Variable Models for Structured Data
Neural network is also a powerful tool on graph structured data. Scarselli et al. (2009) proposed a neural network which generates features by solving a heuristic nonlinear system iteratively, and is learned using Almeida-Pineda algorithm. To guarantee the existence of the solution to the nonlinear system, there are extra requirements for the features generating function. From this perspective,...
متن کاملSqueezing interval change from ordinal panel data: latent growth curves with ordinal outcomes.
A didactic on latent growth curve modeling for ordinal outcomes is presented. The conceptual aspects of modeling growth with ordinal variables and the notion of threshold invariance are illustrated graphically using a hypothetical example. The ordinal growth model is described in terms of 3 nested models: (a) multivariate normality of the underlying continuous latent variables (yt) and its rela...
متن کاملLISREL analysis of twin data with structured means.
A method is introduced to test the hypothesis that both the phenotypic means and the phenotypic covariances can be modeled with the same common genetic and environmental factors. LISREL can be used to implement the method. An illustration is given with simulated twin data.
