Latent class and latent transition analysis: with applications in the social, behavioral, and health sciences

Improvements in statistical computing have led to a steady increase in popularity of latent class analysis (LCA) and latent transition analysis (LTA), not only in the social sciences but in the behavioral and health sciences as well.This book enables the reader to acquire a thorough conceptual and technical understanding of these methods and to become efficient in applying their techniques to address empirical research questions. The book fills an obvious gap inthe literature; there are few books on LCA, let alone ones that offer a comprehensive treatment of longitudinal latent class models such as LTA.
