1 What is Latent Class Analysis Tarani Chandola
2 Many names similar methods (Finite) Mixture Modeling Latent Class Analysis Latent Profile Analysis
3 Latent class analysis (LCA) LCA is a similar to factor analysis, but for categorical responses. Like factor analysis, LCA addresses the complex pattern of association that appears among observations. A B C D 3
4 Factor Analysis X Y We observe a correlation between two variables. Why? 1. X causes Y? 3. Reciprocal causation (X Y)? X 2. Y causes X? Y 4. A third, unmeasured cause? Z X Y X Y 4
5 Unmeasured Causes: Factor Models Variables may be related due to the action of unobserved influences. Sometimes these are confounding variables, but many constructs of interest are not directly observed (or even observable) Unobserved Construct Social Capital Ethnic prejudice Observed Measures Bowling club membership Local newspaper reading Housing segregation Ethnic intermarriage 5
6 Factor Models Correlations may not be due to causal relations among the observed variables at all, but due to these unmeasured, latent influences - factors Y Y 1 Y 2 Y 3 Y 4 Y Y Y 1 Y 2 Y 3 Y 4 Y
7 Factor Models The observed correlations may be due to each observed measure sharing an unobserved component (F) Y Y 1 Y 2 Y 3 Y 4 F Y Y Y Y 1 Y 2 Y 3 Y 4 E 1 E 2 E 3 E 4 7
8 Factor Models Example: Four questionnaire items that have highly correlated answers Y1 I Often feel blue Y2 I dislike myself Y3 I have a low opinion of myself Y4 My life lacks direction Y 1 Y 2 Y 3 Y 4 8
9 Factor Models The items may be correlated due to the influence of the respondent s mood state, which we can t observed directly Y1 I Often feel blue Y2 I dislike myself Y3 I have a low opinion of myself Y4 My life lacks direction F Y 1 Y 2 Y 3 Y 4 F = Depressed? E 1 E 2 E 3 E 4 9
10 Factor Models Hypothesised Factor Model Observed data 10
11 Model Fit Standard measure of observed vs. expected fit? Pearson χ 2 (Chi Square) test Sum of the squared differences between observed (O) and expected (E) (co)variances divided by the expected χ 2 = Σ[(O E) 2 /E] The larger the χ 2 the greater the model misfit Can test if χ 2 = 0 using the model df 11
12 In LCA, the underlying unobserved variables are not continuous (dimensions) but classes/categories/discrete Class 1 Class 2 A B C D SUGI 31 Contributed paper
13 What if you do not know how to classify people into (depressed vs not depressed) groups? What if there is no gold standard to assess a pattern of yes/no signs and symptoms? Feel blue Low opinion Life lacks direction Dislike myself Rindskopf, R., & Rindskopf, W. (1986). The value of latent class analysis in medical diagnosis. Statistics in Medicine, 5,
14 LCA of Depression (Dep) indicators P(Dep) P(Not Dep) Feel blue Low opinion Dislike myself Life lacks direction LCA predicts latent class membership such that the observed variables are independent. 14
15 P(Dep) P(Not Dep) Feel blue Low opinion Dislike myself Life lacks direction LCA estimates Latent class prevalences Conditional probabilities: probabilities of specific response, given class membership 15
16 LCA works on unconditional contingency table (no information on latent class membership) Feel blue Low opinion Dislike myself Life lacks direction n ijkl
17 Feel blue LCA s goal is to produce a complete (conditional) table that assigns counts for each latent class: Dislike myself Low opinion Life lacks directi on Latent Class X=t n ijklt
18 Estimating LC parameters Maximum likelihood approach Because LC membership is unobserved, the likelihood function, and the likelihood surface, are complex. 18
19 EM algorithm calculates L when some data (X) are unobserved M step produces ML estimates from complete table E step uses parameter estimates to update expected values for cell counts nijkltn in complete contingency table 19
20 EM algorithm requires initial estimates 1st E step: Provide initial (random) estimates to fill in missing information on LC membership M step E step 20

P-Value Latent Class 1 Means BMI Variances BMI Latent Class 2 Means BMI Variances BMI Latent Class 3 Means BMI Variances BMI Categorical Latent Variables Means C# C# ! Those in Class 2 have much higher mean BMI than those in classes 1 and 3 26
27 Latent Profile/Class analysis with 2 and 3 latent classes 27
28 Deciding on number of latent classes Start with the simplest (a one class) solution, and add more classes stepwise. Examine the model evaluation statistics: Chi square difference tests are not appropriate for likelihood ratio test comparisons of models with higher numbers of classes. Models that maximize the log likelihood are generally better fitting, although this comes at the expense of fitting more parameters to the model. Look for low values on the Akaike s Information Criterion (AIC), Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) and sample size adjusted BIC statistics. In addition, Tech 11: modification to the likelihood ratios test that adjusts the conventional likelihood ratio test for K vs K 1 classes for violation of regularity conditions (p>0.05 indicates K 1 classes are sufficient). Examine entropy measure (higher values indicate better fit). Usefulness of the latent classes in practice. This can be determined by examining the trajectory shapes for similarity, the number of individuals in each class, and whether the classes are associated with observed characteristics in an expected manner. 28
