An application of Measurement error evaluation using latent class analysis
Latent class analysis (LCA) is a method of evaluating non sampling errors, especially measurement error in categorical data. Biemer (2011) introduced four latent class modeling approaches: probability model parameterization, log linear model, modified path model, and graphical model using path diagrams. These models are interchangeable. Latent class probability models express l...
متن کاملThe Use of Latent Class Analysis in Medical Diagnosis
The evaluation of medical signs, symptoms, and tests for the purposes of diagnosis is usually framed within the context of estimating the sensitivity and specificity of the indicator. Sensitivity is the probability that a person with the disease will be positive on the indicator; specificity is the probability that a person without the disease will be negative on the indicator. The estimation o...

متن کاملBayesian Latent Class Models in Malaria Diagnosis
AIMS The main focus of this study is to illustrate the importance of the statistical analysis in the evaluation of the accuracy of malaria diagnostic tests, without admitting a reference test, exploring a dataset (n=3317) collected in São Tomé and Príncipe. METHODS Bayesian Latent Class Models (without and with constraints) are used to estimate the malaria infection prevalence, together with ...
متن کاملOptimization in latent class analysis
In latent class analysis (LCA) one seeks a clustering of categorical data, such as patterns of symptoms of a patient, in terms of locally independent stochastic models. This leads to practical definitions of criteria, e.g., whether to include patients in further diagnostic examinations. The clustering is often determined by parameters that are estimated by the maximum likelihood method. The lik...
