Applied Latent Class Analysis Allan L. McCutcheon, Jacques A. Hagenaars
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

In applying the proposed approach to an epidemiological study that examined the relationship between environmental polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) exposure and the risk of endometriosis, we identified a highly significant overall effect of PCB concentrations on the risk of endometriosis. [I like this tidbit: 2% of respondents said they'd never heard of global warming]. LINK: Download Applied Latent Class Analysis Book. Next, the researchers applied latent class growth analysis to estimate the smoking trajectory for each individual. Latent Class Analysis (Quantitative Applications in the Social. Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press. Latent Class Scaling Analysis (Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences). Instead of a standard regression model, consider building a latent class regression. The Great British Class Using latent class analysis on measures of economic, social and cultural capital, from our nationally representative sample, we defined a new model of class in Britain today. Applying latent class factor models to attribute data(with ordinal and categorical scales) is an absolutely delightful exercise once the results are compared to traditional factor analysis. [For more on the theory and methods of the GBCS see here.] Late in the summer of 2012, we showed the BBC Lab UK our notes from our latent class analysis. There is a growing gulf between the elite and the lower classes, and what used to be termed the middle and working classes seem to be splintering into social classes with systematically differing amounts of cultural and social capital. Latent class analysis was used to cluster people according to their beliefs, attitudes, etc. A latent variable modeling approach, specifically latent class analysis (LCA), was used to generate profiles of youth based on their endorsements of the physical and sexual abuse items. Applied Quantitative Analysis in Education and the Social Sciences. Latent class analysis was used to identify sub-groups within the group of young people who were in JWT. 4.5 In all three studies, securing samples of young people (and employers) was problematic. We develop a latent class modeling approach for joint analysis of high-dimensional semicontinuous biomarker data and a binary disease outcome. This study introduces several recent innovations in latent class analysis to a wider audience of researchers.
