Correcting for Nonresponse in Latent Class Analysis.
Kolb, Rita R.; Dayton, C. Mitchell
Multivariate Behavioral Research, v31 n1 p7-32 1996
Monte Carlo methods were used to evaluate an EM algorithm used for the correction of missing data in latent class analysis. Findings regarding bias in parameter estimates suggest practical limits for the utility of the EM algorithm in terms of sample size and nonresponse rate. (SLD)
