The Impact of Test and Sample Characteristics on Model Selection and Classification Accuracy in the Multilevel Mixture IRT Model

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2020
The standard item response theory (IRT) model assumption of a single homogenous population may be violated in real data. Mixture extensions of IRT models have been proposed to account for latent heterogeneous populations, but these models are not ...

Latent trajectory studies: the basics, how to interpret the results, and what to report [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Psychotraumatology, 2015
Background: In statistics, tools have been developed to estimate individual change over time. Also, the existence of latent trajectories, where individuals are captured by trajectories that are unobserved (latent), can be evaluated (Muthén & Muthén, 2000)
