USING LATENT PROFILE MODELS AND UNSTRUCTURED GROWTH MIXTURE MODELS TO ASSESS THE NUMBER OF LATENT CLASSES IN GROWTH MIXTURE MODELING

Liu, Min - 2011

Growth mixture modeling has gained much attention in applied and methodological social science research recently, but the selection of the number of latent classes for such models remains a challenging issue. This problem becomes more serious when one of the key assumptions of this model, proper...
