This study introduces several recent innovations in latent class analysis to a wider audience of researchers. A latent class regression (LCR) model, using 9 BRFSS HRQOL indicators, was used to determine latent classes of HRQOL for RI adults and to model the relationship between latent class membership and covariates. Hispanic college students (N = 436) from Miami participated in the In K. METHODS: Latent class analysis (a statistical technique to identify clustering of variance from a set of categorical variables) was applied to 174 cases using clinical diagnostic information to identify the most parsimonious model of best fit. Latent class analysis was used to identify sub-groups within the group of young people who were in JWT. The knowledge from data/database (KDD) framework for preparing data and finding patterns in large amounts of data served as the process framework in which a latent class analysis (LCA) was applied to IA user data. Latent class analysis was then applied to the individual priorities, to identify separate clusters or subgroups of people. Latent class analysis was used to classify children into four profiles of classroom engagement: free play, individual instruction, group instruction, and scaffolded learning. 4.5 In all three studies, securing samples of young people (and employers) was problematic. It is common in latent class analysis to fit models with different numbers of classes and compare them by Bayesian information criterion (BIC) and choose the model with the smallest BIC values [37,38]. Nursing Medical Article: Using latent class analysis to model prescription medications in the measurement of falling among a community elderly population. The authors examined the extent to which Berry's (1997) acculturation orientation categories--assimilation, integration, separation, and marginalization--would emerge from a latent class analysis of continuous acculturation indices.

The researchers then applied latent class growth analysis to determine the smoking trajectory for the students, measuring how smoking behaviors changed over time. Instead of a standard regression model, consider building a latent class regression. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association. BRFSS interviewed 3,999 respondents.
