Commonly attributed to Lazarsfeld and Henry (1968), LPA is a relatively new clustering approach for capturing patterns of continuous observed variables within a sample of individuals. Latent profile analysis (LPA), which is also known as latent class cluster analysis (Vermunt and Magidson 2002) and finite mixture modelling (McLachlan and Peel 2000), is one such statistical approach that can uncover related cases from continuous data. Your health¶. A measure of the distance between each observation and each cluster is computed. Sharing links are not available for this article. You are interested in studying drinking behavior among adults. Since you cannot directly measure what category someone falls into, this is a latent variable (a variable that cannot be directly measured). Additionally, LPA also allows researchers to include covariates and outcomes... Over 10 million scientific documents at your fingertips. We demonstrate how profiles can be linked to differences in dependent variables, providing family firm scholars with a tool to assess heterogeneity and its consequences among family firms. (, MacCallum, R. C., Zhang, S., Preacher, K. J., Rucker, D. D. (, Mazzola, P., Sciascia, S., Kellermanns, F. W. (, Meyer, J. P., Stanley, L. J., Parfyonova, N. M. (, Meyer, J. P., Stanley, L. J., Vandenberg, R. J. But there isn’t a single measurement of “health” that can be measured - it is a rather abstract concept.Instead we measure physical properties from our bodies, such as blood pressure, cholesterol level, weight, various distances (waist, hips, chest), blood sugar, temperature, and a variety of other measurements. For example, you think that people fall into one of three different types: abstainers, social drinkers and alcoholics. View or download all content the institution has subscribed to. I would like to know if anyone does know a possibility to conduct a latent profile analysis within R. This kind of SEM-model utilizing continuous manifest variables to identify a latent categorial variable can be done within MPLUS (see here for an example), but I did not find any comparable approaches within lavaan or any other R-package (although I am not sure if openMX can do it). A., Hampton, M. M., Lansberg, I. Ram, N., & Grimm, K. J. By continuing to browse A set of K parameters, each specifying the parameter of the corresponding mixture component. Muthén, L. K., & Muthén, B. O. (2009). Latent profile analysis is based on the principle of conditional independence, 22 which dictates that classes be created such that (within each class) indicator variables are statistically independent (ie, uncorrelated).
