Hi Bengt/Linda, I feel the answer is likely to be no, but is there any way of fitting an LCGA to a repeated latent class measure? I can fit a longitudinal LCA, I guess you'd describe it as a second-order mixture model, but in my mind at least I have a repeated nominal (albeit latent) variable so am wondering about polynomial change with an LCGA. any thoughts? many thanks, Jon |

Technically, I think Mplus could do this, although not using the | construction - this is disallowed for reasons given below - but could be done using BY. The question is, however, what you would mean by growth in a (latent) nominal DV. For an ordered polytomous (ordinal) DV we have one slope when regressing the DV on say the slope growth factor, but with nominal we have C-1 such slopes,so it's like having C-1 growth curves. Perhaps an LTA with these latent nominal DVs would be more natural. |

Thanks Bengt I hadn't thought past a binary I confess. I'm using a series of latent class variables along with logit constraints to adjust a repeated binary for known misclassification error. Ideally I would then fit an LCGA to my error-adjusted data. I have this working with LLCA, and in doing so have perhaps broken the record for output file length (~44,000 lines). Perhaps a UK record at least. best, Jon |
