Latent Variable Regression for Multiple Discrete Outcomes
多重离散结果的潜变量回归
Quantifying human health and functioning poses significant challenges in many research areas. Commonly in the social and behavioral sciences and increasingly in epidemiologic research, multiple indicators are utilized as responses in lieu of an obvious single measure for an outcome of interest. In this article we study the concomitant latent class model for analyzing such multivariate categorical outcome data. We develop practical theory for reducing and identifying such…
