Class Enumeration and Parameter Recovery of Growth Mixture Modeling and Second-Order Growth Mixture Modeling in the Presence of Measurement Noninvariance between Latent Classes [PDF]
Population heterogeneity in growth trajectories can be detected with growth mixture modeling (GMM). It is common that researchers compute composite scores of repeated measures and use them as multiple indicators of growth factors (baseline performance ...

Temporal patterns of adolescent screen time and compulsive internet use in Moroccan high school students. [PDF]
Objective: Although compulsive internet use reflects interactions between personal vulnerabilities and situational triggers, adolescents’ day-to-day screen time patterns, especially in non-Western contexts, remain understudied. We aim to examine temporal

Latent Class Growth Modelling: A Tutorial [PDF]
The present work is an introduction to Latent Class Growth Modelling (LCGM). LCGM is a semi-parametric statistical technique used to analyze longitudinal data. It is used when the data follows a pattern of change in which both the strength and the direction of the relationship between the independent and dependent variables differ across cases.

Bayesian multivariate growth curve latent class models for mixed outcomes [PDF]
In many clinical studies, the disease of interest is multifaceted, and multiple outcomes are needed to adequately capture information about the characteristics of the disease or its severity. In the analysis of such diseases, it is often difficult to determine what constitutes improvement because of the multivariate nature of the outcome.

An Introduction to Latent Variable Mixture Modeling (Part 2): Longitudinal Latent Class Growth Analysis and Growth Mixture Models [PDF]
Pediatric psychologists are often interested in finding patterns in heterogeneous longitudinal data. Latent variable mixture modeling is an emerging statistical approach that models such heterogeneity by classifying individuals into unobserved groupings (latent classes) with similar (more homogenous) patterns.
