I ‘ve got interesting results but I can’t simply find out the methodology used by this routine : 1) What

Hai, Can anyone help me with some literature (R related) about latent models? Thanx, Wilfred

Hello there, In the e1071 package,'lca' function only works for binary data for Latent class analysis. Am I right? I would like to test the agreement amongst 6 raters for nominal data ona scale from 1-4, and conduct a latent class analysis. What package and what function may I use? Thank you very much Lisa Wang Princess Margaret Hospital tel: 416 946 4501

What's the best approach to running latent class analysis with R? I've downloaded both randomLCA and poLCA packages, but I am interesting in running a standard LCA with individual records (not frequency table) as input data.

Dear R users, I would like to perform Latent Class Logit Models for the analysis of choice experiments in environmental valuation. This kind of analysis is usually performed with NLogit Software (http://www.limdep.com). I attach the results I usually obtain using NLogit and NLogit model specifications. For Random parameter models and Logit Models I usually perform my analysis with the package

Dear List, just a little question, I am interested in Latent Class Analysis and I guess if there is a package for this pourpose thank for you help, Simone

Hi All, I have a n x m matrix. The n rows are individuals, the m columns are variables. The matrix is in itself a collection of 1s (if a variable is observed for an individual), and 0s (is there is no observation). Something like: [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [1,] 1 0 1 1 0 0 [2,] 1 0 1 1 0 0 [3,] 1 0 1 1 0 0 [4,] 0 1 0

Hello, I will use the lca method in the e1071 package. But I get the following error: Error in pas[j, ] <- drop(exp(rep(1, nvar) %*% log(mp))) : number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length Does anybody know this error and knows what this means? Kind regards, Tryntsje

Dear R-users, I keep getting an ERROR saying " Error in model.matrix.default(formula, mframe) : model frame and formula mismatch in model.matrix() " when i fit poLCA with more than 63 variables. Below are the details. I am trying to do a Latent Class Analysis using poLCA. My data set contains binary scores of, for instance, 200 students on 100 items. These numbers could even be more

[ Not sure why, but the first time I sent this it never seemed to go through; apologies if you're seeing this twice ... ] I have some fully functional code that I'm guessing can be done better/quicker with some savvy R vector tricks; any help to make this run a bit faster would be greatly appreciated; I'm particularly stuck on how to calculate using "row-wise" vectors

Dear R-help listers, I am a new convert to R. I am trying to use a r package to conduct latent class analysis as a triangulation check of my cluster analysis using the cluster package in R. I have about 30 cases and 6 indicators, some of which are binary indicators and others are ratio-level variables (percentages). I looked around for information in flexmix, lca, and poLCA, and couldn't find

Dear list, I have been comparing the outputs of two packages for latent class regression, namely 'flexmix', and 'mmlcr'. What I have noticed is that the flexmix package appears to come up with a much better fit than the mmlcr package (based on logLik, AIC, BIC, and visual inspection). Has anyone else observed such behaviour? Has anyone else been successful in using the mmlcr

Dear R users, Is there any package for Latent Class Analysis (to be used in a clustering application) which supports mixed indicator variables (categorical and continuous)? Alternatively, is there any other clustering algorithm available that supports this type of data? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Lars. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R-helpers, I wonder if I could impose upon you for forther assistance, this time with dataframes: hopefully this will be of general interest, as I personally have found them hard to get to grips with. I was trying to transpose rows and cols and move col1 to the names. Then all sorts of things go wrong. Although the end result looks the same, page() shows the structure to be quite

Greetings I'm a relatively new R user and I'm trying to build a latent class model. I've used the 'R Site Search' and it appears there's not much dialogue on these packages On mmlcr, I've gotten it working, but not sure if I'm using it correctly. On flexmix, I can only seem to get results for one class. I'm attaching my code below - if anyone

Is it possible to fit a structural equation model with link functions in R? I am trying to build a logistic-regression-like model in sem, because incorporating the dichotomous variables linearly seems inappropriate. Mplus can do something similar by specifying a 'link' parameter, but I would like to be able to do it in R, ofcourse. I have explored the 'sem' package from John Fox,

Dear r-users, I am looking for an implementation of the Naive Bayes classifier for a multi-class classification problem. I can not even find the Naive Bayes classifier for two classes, though I can not believe it is not available. Can anyone help me?

Hi everyone? Does anybody know how can I estimate a Latent class multinomial (or conditional) logit using R? I have tried flexmix, poLCA, and they do not seem to support this model. thanks in advance adan -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Latent-class-multinomial-or-conditional-logit-using-R-tp4230083p4230083.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at
