A Latent Class Bayesian Model for Multivariate Longitudinal Outcomes with Excess Zeros
含超额零值的多变量纵向结果的潜类别贝叶斯模型
Latent class models have been successfully used to handle complex datasets in different disciplines. For longitudinal outcomes, we often get a trajectory of the outcome for each individual, and on that basis, we cluster them for a powerful statistical inference. Latent class models have been used to handle multivariate longitudinal outcomes coming from biology, health sciences, and economics. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian latent class model for multivariate outcomes…
