Latent class recapture models with flexible behavioural response [PDF]
Statistica, 2015 We propose a class of models for population size estimation in capture-recapture studies, allowing for flexible behavioural and time response, observed heterogeneity and unobserved heterogeneity.

Automated Bot Detection Using Bayesian Latent Class Models in Online Surveys [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Behavioral scientists have become increasingly reliant on online survey platforms such as Amazon's Mechanical Turk (Mturk). These platforms have many advantages, for example it provides ease of access to difficult to sample populations, a large pool of ...

Estimating sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests using latent class models that account for conditional dependence between tests: a simulation study [PDF]
BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2023 Background Latent class models are increasingly used to estimate the sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests in the absence of a gold standard, and are commonly fitted using Bayesian methods.

Estimating Spatial Econometrics Models with Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation
Mathematics, 2021 The integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) provides a fast and effective method for marginal inference in Bayesian hierarchical models. This methodology has been implemented in the R-INLA package which permits INLA to be used from within R ...

Variable Assessment in Latent Class Models. [PDF]
Comput Stat Data Anal, 2014 The latent class model provides an important platform for jointly modeling mixed-mode data - i.e., discrete and continuous data with various parametric distributions. Multiple mixed-mode variables are used to cluster subjects into latent classes. While the mixed-mode latent class analysis is a powerful tool for statisticians, few studies are focused on

Latent class models for Echinococcus multilocularis diagnosis in foxes in Switzerland in the absence of a gold standard [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2017 Background In Europe the principal definitive host for Echinococcus multilocularis, causing alveolar echinococcosis in humans, is the red fox (Vulpes vulpes). Obtaining reliable estimates of the prevalence of E.

Journal of Transport and Land Use, 2023 We propose a method to estimate mode choice models, where preference parameters are sensitive to the spatial context of the trip origin, challenging traditional assumptions of spatial homogeneity in the relationship between travel modes and the built ...

Bayesian Latent Class Models in malaria diagnosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 AIMS: The main focus of this study is to illustrate the importance of the statistical analysis in the evaluation of the accuracy of malaria diagnostic tests, without admitting a reference test, exploring a dataset (n=3317) collected in São Tomé and ...
