Bayesian Estimation of Latent Class Model for Survey Data Subject to Item Nonresponse
Bayesian Estimation of Latent Class Model for Survey Data Subject to Item Nonresponse
Latent variable models are widely used in social sciences for measuring constructs (latent variables) such as ability, attitude, behavior, and wellbeing. Those unobserved constructs are measured through a number of observed items (variables). The observed variables are often subject to item nonresponse, that may be nonignorable.
