Determining the Number of Latent Classes in Single- and Multiphase Growth Mixture Models [PDF]

Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2014
Stage-sequential (or multiphase) growth mixture models are useful for delineating potentially different growth processes across multiple phases over time and for determining whether latent subgroups exist within a population. These models are increasingly important as social behavioral scientists are interested in better understanding change processes ...

Trajectories of Depressive Symptoms and Neighborhood Changes from Adolescence to Adulthood: Latent Class Growth Analysis and Multilevel Growth Curve Models [PDF]

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020
The role of neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) and racial/ethnic composition on depression has received considerable attention in the United States. This study examines associations between trajectory patterns of neighborhood changes and depressive symptoms using data from Waves I-IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health.

Integral projection models for species with complex demography [PDF]

, 2006
Matrix projection models occupy a central role in population and conservation biology. Matrix models divide a population into discrete classes, even if the structuring trait exhibits continuous variation ( e. g., body size). The integral projection model

Trajectories of university adjustment in the United Kingdom: Emotion management and emotional self-efficacy protect against initial poor adjustment [PDF]

, 2013
Little is known about individual differences in the pattern of university adjustment. This study explored longitudinal associations between emotional self-efficacy, emotion management, university adjustment, and academic achievement in a sample of first ...

Symptom Trajectories in Children Receiving Treatment for Leukemia: A Latent Class Growth Analysis With Multitrajectory Modeling [PDF]

Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, 2017
Cancer treatment symptoms play a major role in determining the health of children with cancer. Symptom toxicity often results in complications, treatment delays, and therapy dose reductions that can compromise leukemia therapy and jeopardize chances for long-term survival.

Measuring the performance of LPA, LCGA, LGCM, and GMM in identifying the homogenous subgroups (latent classes) within the wider heterogeneous population of patients on DTG

Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics
BackgroundIdentifying heterogeneity in longitudinal data is critical for understanding diverse trajectories in clinical and epidemiological research. Traditional analytical methods often fail to distinguish latent subpopulations.

Longitudinal joint trajectories of gambling disorder and hypomentalization: A latent class growth analysis among young adults

Comprehensive Psychiatry, 2023
Introduction: Only a few studies have investigated the relationship between risk for gambling disorder (GD) and mentalization difficulties. However, these results on positive correlations were all from cross-sectional studies; therefore, it would be ...

Methylation biomarkers can distinguish pleural mesothelioma from healthy pleura and other pleural pathologies

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We developed and validated a DNA methylation–based biomarker panel to distinguish pleural mesothelioma from other pleural conditions. Using the IMPRESS technology, we translated this panel into a clinically applicable assay. The resulting two classifier models demonstrated excellent performance, achieving high AUC values and strong diagnostic accuracy.

Capturing the heterogeneity of urban growth in South Korea using a latent class regression model [PDF]

Transactions in GIS, 2018
AbstractThis study aims to analyze the spatial patterns of urban growth in South Korea between 2000 and 2010. Fourteen suspected causative independent variables were selected and latent class regression (LCR) was used to analyze the relationship between dependent (urban growth) and independent (causative) variables.
