Automated Bot Detection Using Bayesian Latent Class Models in Online Surveys [PDF]
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 ...

Identifiability of Latent Class Models with Covariates
Abstract Latent class models with covariates are widely used for psychological, social, and educational research. Yet the fundamental identifiability issue of these models has not been fully addressed. Among the previous research on the identifiability of latent class models with covariates, Huang and Bandeen-Roche (Psychometrika 69:5–

Estimating sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests using latent class models that account for conditional dependence between tests: a simulation study [PDF]
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.

Variable Assessment in Latent Class Models. [PDF]
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]
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.

Gaussian process latent class choice models
We present a Gaussian Process - Latent Class Choice Model (GP-LCCM) to integrate a non-parametric class of probabilistic machine learning within discrete choice models (DCMs). Gaussian Processes (GPs) are kernel-based algorithms that incorporate expert knowledge by assuming priors over latent functions rather than priors over parameters, which makes ...

Bayesian Latent Class Models in malaria diagnosis. [PDF]
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 ...
