Finite Mixture Modeling – Latent Profile Analysis, Part 2

Welcome to Part 2 of this three part series! If you have not read Part 1, and are unfamiliar with latent profile analysis, I recommend taking a few minutes to do that before you dive in here. Additionally, check out Spurk et al. (2020) for a succinct overview of the profile enumeration process. In thisContinue reading “Finite Mixture Modeling – Latent Profile Analysis, Part 2”

Finite Mixture Modeling – Latent Profile Analysis, Part 1

This is the first post in a three part series about latent profile analysis. Three posts you say?! Yes. This is the statistical method I used in my dissertation, so needless to say I have lots of thoughts about it. This first post will provide some theoretical background on mixture models more generally, and latentContinue reading “Finite Mixture Modeling – Latent Profile Analysis, Part 1”
