Group-Based criminal trajectory analysis using cross-validation criteria
In this paper, we discuss the challenge of determining the number of classes in a family of finite mixture models with the intent of improving the specification of latent class models for criminal trajectories. We argue that the traditional method of using either the Proc Traj or Mplus package to compute and maximize the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) is problematic: Proc Traj and Mplus d...
متن کاملDiscrepancy-Based Model Selection Criteria Using Cross Validation
A model selection criterion is often formulated by constructing an approximately unbiased estimator of an expected discrepancy, a measure that gauges the separation between the true model and a fitted approximating model. The expected discrepancy reflects how well, on average, the fitted approximating model predicts “new” data generated under the true model. A related measure, the estimated dis...
متن کاملAnalyzing criminal trajectory profiles: Bridging multilevel and group-based approaches using growth mixture modeling
Over the last 25 years, a life-course perspective on criminal behavior has assumed increasing prominence in the literature. This theoretical development has been accompanied by changes in the statistical models used to analyze criminological data. There are two main statistical modeling techniques currently used to model longitudinal data. These are growth curve models and latent class growth m...
متن کاملAutomatic early stopping using cross validation: quantifying the criteria
Cross validation can be used to detect when overfitting starts during supervised training of a neural network; training is then stopped before convergence to avoid the overfitting ('early stopping'). The exact criterion used for cross validation based early stopping, however, is chosen in an ad-hoc fashion by most researchers or training is stopped interactively. To aid a more well-founded sele...
متن کاملGroup-based multi-trajectory modeling
Identifying and monitoring multiple disease biomarkers and other clinically important factors affecting the course of a disease, behavior or health status is of great clinical relevance. Yet conventional statistical practice generally falls far short of taking full advantage of the information available in multivariate longitudinal data for tracking the course of the outcome of interest. We dem...
