Estimating the Concomitant-Variable Latent-Class Model with the EM Algorithm.

van der Heijden, Peter G. M.; And Others

Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, v21 n3 p215-29 Fall 1996

The concomitant-variable latent-class model is described for situations with continuous explanatory variables, and an EM estimation procedure to estimate the model is presented. The model is applied to the study of crime among ethnic groups in the Netherlands, and its utility is demonstrated. (SLD)
