Hui and Walter’s latent-class model extended to estimate diagnostic test properties from surveillance data: a latent model for latent data
Diagnostic test sensitivity and specificity are probabilistic estimates with far reaching implications for disease control, management and genetic studies. In the absence of 'gold standard' tests, traditional Bayesian latent class models may be used to assess diagnostic test accuracies through the comparison of two or more tests performed on the same groups of individuals. The aim of this study...
متن کاملA latent class selection model for nonignorably missing data
A Latent-Class Selection Model for Nonignorably Missing Data Most missing-data procedures assume that the missing values are ignorably missing or missing at random (MAR), which means that the probabilities of response do not depend on unseen quantities. Although this assumption is convenient, it is sometimes questionable. For example, questionnaire items pertaining to sensitive information (e.g...
متن کاملA penalized latent class model for ordinal data.
Latent class models provide a useful framework for clustering observations based on several features. Application of latent class methodology to correlated, high-dimensional ordinal data poses many challenges. Unconstrained analyses may not result in an estimable model. Thus, information contained in ordinal variables may not be fully exploited by researchers. We develop a penalized latent clas...
متن کاملA latent-class mixture model for incomplete longitudinal Gaussian data.
In the analyses of incomplete longitudinal clinical trial data, there has been a shift, away from simple methods that are valid only if the data are missing completely at random, to more principled ignorable analyses, which are valid under the less restrictive missing at random assumption. The availability of the necessary standard statistical software nowadays allows for such analyses in pract...
متن کاملA Latent Space Model for Rank Data
Proportional representation by means of a single transferable vote (PR-STV) is the electoral system employed in Irish elections. In this system, voters rank some or all of the candidates in order of preference. A latent space model is proposed for these election data where both candidates and voters are located in the same D-dimensional space. The locations are determined by the ranked preferen...
