Latent transition analysis: Inference and estimation [PDF]
AbstractParameters for latent transition analysis (LTA) are easily estimated by maximum likelihood (ML) or Bayesian methodviaMarkov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). However, unusual features in the likelihood can cause difficulties in ML and Bayesian inference and estimation, especially with small samples.

Latent Transition Analysis: Benefits of a Latent Variable Approach to Modeling Transitions in Substance Use [PDF]
We apply latent transition analysis (LTA) to characterize transitions over time in substance use behavior profiles among first-year college students. Advantages of modeling substance use behavior as a categorical latent variable are demonstrated. Alcohol use (any drinking and binge drinking), cigarette use, and marijuana use were assessed in a sample (

Fraction Errors in a Digital Mathematics Environment: Latent Class and Transition Analysis
Student struggles with fractions are well documented, and due to fractions’ importance to later mathematics achievement, identification of the errors students make when solving fraction problems is an area of interest for both researchers and teachers ...

Transitions in Smokers’ Social Networks After Quit Attempts: A Latent Transition Analysis [PDF]
Smokers' social networks vary in size, composition, and amount of exposure to smoking. The extent to which smokers' social networks change after a quit attempt is unknown, as is the relation between quitting success and later network changes.Unique types of social networks for 691 smokers enrolled in a smoking-cessation trial were identified based on ...
