Bayesian Analysis of Latent Variable Models using Mplus

Item Response Modeling in Mplus: A Multi-Dimensional, Multi-Level, and Multi-Timepoint Example

This chapter presents item response modeling techniques in the Mplus program (Muthén & Muthén, 2012) through the analysis of an example with three features common in behavioral science applications: multiple latent variable dimensions, multilevel data, and multiple timepoints. The dimensionality of a measurement instrument with categorical items is investigated using exploratory factor analysis...

Applications Of Continuous-Time Survival In Latent Variable Models For The Analysis Of Oncology Randomized Clinical Trial Data Using Mplus

The Analysis of Bayesian Probit Regression of Binary and Polychotomous Response Data

The goal of this study is to introduce a statistical method regarding the analysis of specific latent data for regression analysis of the discrete data and to build a relation between a probit regression model (related to the discrete response) and normal linear regression model (related to the latent data of continuous response). This method provides precise inferences on binary and multinomia...

Sampling Weights in Latent Variable Modeling

This article reviews several basic statistical tools needed for modeling data with sampling weights that are implemented in Mplus Version 3. These tools are illustrated in simulation studies for several latent variable models including factor analysis with continuous and categorical indicators, latent class analysis, and growth models. The pseudomaximum likelihood estimation method is reviewed ...

Using multivariate generalized linear latent variable models to measure the difference in event count for stranded marine animals

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The classification of marine animals as protected species makes data and information on them to be very important. Therefore, this led to the need to retrieve and understand the data on the event counts for stranded marine animals based on location emergence, number of individuals, behavior, and threats to their presence. Whales are g...
