All of the models presented here add advanced features to “baseline” static and dynamic latent class models. This includes information about latent class moderation, adding inverse propensity score weights to models, multilevel latent class models, and associative latent transition analysis, among other topics. Note that these models fall under the broad classification of loglinear modeling with latent variables.

LPA: Baseline LPA with all continuous indicators and a grouping variable with measurement invariance

Description This code fits a baseline, latent-profile model for the “Big 5” personality traits using 5 continuous indicators of the latent class variable and biological sex as the grouping variable. It also imposes measurement invariance across the groups. Software Downloads Latent Gold Mplus Exercise Exercise 6 This exercise asks you to select and interpret a latent profile model for the “Big 5” personality traits using 5 continuous indicators of the latent class variable as well as add a grouping variable for biological sex. Then, it asks you to interpret all parameters in the model. Please be sure to impose measurement...

LPA: Baseline LPA with continuous and categorical indicators (mixed indicator model)

Description This code fits a mixed indicator latent-profile model (using both continuous and categorical indicators) to identify family subgroups that conform to risk factors associated with adolescent antisocial behavior. This code corresponds to the research paper titled “Constellations of Family Risk for Long-Term Adolescent Antisocial Behavior” published in Journal of Family Psychology in 2020.

Multilevel LPA: Baseline two-level LPA with classes at level 1 and level 2

Description This code fits a 2-level latent-profile model using a “non-parametric approach” to identify mother-father-adolescent relationship structures and dynamics on a daily basis. This code corresponds to the research paper titled “Triadic Family Structures and Their Day-to-Day Dynamics From an Adolescent Perspective: A Multilevel Latent Profile Analysis” published in Fam Process in 2022. Note that there is an important difference between the code available here and the exact code used to fit the model in the paper: in the code available here the measurement model is freely estimated, whereas in the paper the measurement model was fixed. The paper can...
