Semi-Nonparametric Methods for Detecting Latent Non-normality: A Fusion of Latent Trait and Ordered Latent Class Modeling.
Ordered latent class analysis (OLCA) can be used to approximate unidimensional latent distributions. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the method of OLCA in detecting non-normality of an unobserved continuous variable (i.e., a common factor) used to explain the covariation between dichotomous item-level responses. Using simulation, we compared a model in which probabilities of cla...
متن کاملLatent Growth Modeling and Latent Class Analysis
Geared towards capturing change, longitudinal research is able to provide insight into a variety of phenomena of interest to IS researchers, especially IT adoption and use. However, its potential is constrained by the data analysis methods typically used. In this paper, I introduce an advanced technique – Latent Curve Modeling – and demonstrate how this technique supports longitudinal data anal...
متن کاملLatent Trait Latent Class Analysis of an Eysenck Personality Questionnaire
In this paper two scales of a personality questionnaire, extraversion and neuroticism, are analyzed using a family of latent trait latent class models. The items are responded to in one of three categories: “yes”, “?”, or “no”. The results show that one single measurement model does not suffice in describing the data. More specifically, the meaning of the “?” response category is not invariant ...
متن کاملStatistical Methods for Latent Class Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping
Identifying the genetic basis of complex traits is an important problem with the potential to impact a broad range of biological endeavors. A number of effective statistical methods are available for quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping that allow for the efficient identification of multiple, potentially interacting, loci under a variety of experimental conditions. Although proven useful in hu...
متن کاملBayesian dynamic modeling of latent trait distributions.
Studies of latent traits often collect data for multiple items measuring different aspects of the trait. For such data, it is common to consider models in which the different items are manifestations of a normal latent variable, which depends on covariates through a linear regression model. This article proposes a flexible Bayesian alternative in which the unknown latent variable density can ch...
