1 Finite Mixture EFA in Mlus November 16, 2007 In this document we describe the Mixture EFA model estimated in Mlus. Four tyes of deendent variables are ossible in this model: normally distributed, ordered categorical with logit or robit link, Poisson distributed with the exonential link function, and censored variables. Inflation is not available for the Censored and Poisson variables. Suose that we estimate a K class model with M factors and P deendent variables. Denote the variables by Y 1,..., Y P and the normally distributed factors by η 1,..., η M. Let η be the vector of all latent factors η = (η 1,..., η M ). The Mixture model is based on a single categorical latent class variable C. For a normally distributed variable Y we estimate the following model in class k Y = ν k + λ k η + ε where ν k is the intercet arameter, λ k is a vector of loadings of dimension M, and ε is a zero mean normally distributed residual with variance θ k. For an ordered categorical variable Y we estimate the following model in class k P (Y = j) = F (τ kj λ k η) F (τ kj 1 λ k η) for j = 1,..., r where r is the number of categories that the variable Y takes. The arameters τ kj are monotonically increasing for j and for identification uroses τ kr = and τ k0 =. The function F is either the standard normal distribution function, for robit link, or the logit distribution function F (x) = 1/(1 + Ex( x)), for logit link. Alternatively we can secify the model as follows Y = j τ kj 1 Y < τ kj 1
2 where Y = λ k η + ε where ε is a residual with distribution F. For Poisson distributed variables we estimate the following model in class k P (Y = j) = e Y (Y ) j j! where Y = ν k + λ k η and the arameters to be estimated are again the intercet ν k and the loading vector λ k. For censored variables Y we estimate the following model in class k Y = { Y c if Y if Y > c c where c is the censoring limit and Y Y is latent normally distributed variable = ν k + λ k η + ε where ν k, λ k, and the variance θ k of the zero mean residual ε are to be estimated. The above model is for censored variables with a lower end bound. Similar model is available for censored variables with an uer end bound. We also estimate an unrestricted correlation matrix Ψ k for the factors η in class k when we estimate the model with oblique rotation. If we estimate the model with orthogonal rotation the correlation matrix is fixed to the identity matrix, i.e., the factors are assumed standard normal and orthogonal in all classes. Finally we estimate an unrestricted distribution for the latent class variable C, i.e., we estimate the arameters k = P (C = k). The above model is not identified in rincile. To be identified the model has to include an additional M(M 1) restrictions for oblique rotations or M(M 1)/2 restrictions for orthogonal rotations. Before we roceed with a loading rotation algorithm however we standardize the loadings with resect to the V ar(y ). For normally distributed Y we assume that Y = Y. We construct the standardized loadings λ k as follows λ k = λ k / (V ar(y )) 2
3 where V ar(y ) = λ k Ψ λ T k + θ k where for censored and normal variables θ k is as secified in the model, for categorical robit link variable it is θ k = 1, for categorical logit link variable θ k = π 2 /3 and for Poisson variables θ k = 0. Similarly we standardize the θ k arameter θk = θ k /V ar(y ) Note also that as constructed the standardized loadings are on the correlation scale, that is, if Λ k is the matrix of all standardized loadings and Θ k is the diagonal matrix with all θk on the diagonal, the estimated correlation matrix of Y = (Y1,..., YP ) is Λ kψλ T k + Θ k. We now define the rotation criteria that will identify the loadings and the factor correlation Ψ. All oblique factor rotations are defined by a square matrix H of dimension M such that HH T has ones on the diagonal. All orthogonal rotations are defined by orthogonal square matrices of dimension M, i.e., HH T = I, where I is the identity matrix. All such factor rotations lead to equivalent factor models with M factors. We estimate the rotation that minimizes the simlicity function, i.e., the rotation criteria Q(Λ H) across all rotation matrices H, where the rotation criteria can be any rotation criteria such as cf-varimax, quartimin, geomin etc, suorted by Mlus. With this additional constraint the loadings and factor correlation are uniquely defined. We now focus on the outut reorted by Mlus. For each class the rotation is erformed indeendently, since all loadings and residual covariances are class secific. In the Mlus outut we reort the rotated standardized loadings Λ H, where H is the otimal rotation. Standard errors for the rotated standardized loadings are also reorted. In addition the class secific intercets ν k are reorted, as well as the threshold arameters τ kj. These arameters are reorted in their original metric, however the threshold arameters τ kj are also reorted in the standardized correlation metric. Denote these by τ kj. Consequently the estimated robabilities for each category is comuted as follows P (Y = j C = k) = Φ 1 (τ kj) Φ 1 (τ kj 1). 3
4 This comutation is exact for the robit link function, however it is only aroximate for the logit link function. The Mixture EFA model estimation can be challenging in some instances. When all deendent variables are normally distributed there is no numerical integration involved in the estimation and the comutation is fairly quick, however sufficient number of random starts should be used to ensure that the global log-likelihood maximum is reached. When some of the variables are not normally distributed, i.e., Poisson, censored, and ordered categorical variables, numerical integration is used for all factors and thus the comutation will be significantly slower. With Poisson, censored, and ordered categorical variables the Mixture EFA model is ossible but because of the numerical integration and the random starts erturbation the comutational time might be substantial. Mixture EFA with binary variables is a articularly difficult model to estimate because of the flexibility of the model and fairly little information rovided by binary variables - in articular it is fairly easy to exceed or aroach the maximum degrees of freedom when only a few binary variables are used. In addition for Mixture EFA models with categorical variables, the best log-likelihood value found in multile starting value erturbations, can be difficult to relicate, again due to the flexibility of the model. Additional information on mixture factor analysis can be found in McLachlan and Peel (2000) and McLachlan et al. (2004). Mixture factor analysis with categorical variables is discussed in Muthen and Asarouhov (2006). Mixture EFA analysis is illustrated in Examle 4.4, Mlus User s Guide (Muthen and Muthen, ).
