More recently, latent class models have been used in travel cost revealed preference studies (e.g. Morey et al., 2006 …. 1 There is no theoretical reason to use one or the other approaches (mixed logit or latent class models (LCMs)). We …

Health care utilisation in Europe: new evidence from the ECHP

Teresa Bago d’Uva; Jones, Andrew M. - Department of Economics and Related Studies, University … - 2006

The ECHP is used to analyse the utilisation of health care in Europe. We estimate a new latent class hurdle model for panel data and compare it with the latent class NegBin model and the standard hurdle model. Latent class specifications outperform the standard hurdle model but the latent class...

Global Convergence of the EM Algorithm for Unconstrained Latent Variable Models with Categorical Indicators

Weissman, Alexander - In: Psychometrika 78 (2013) 1, pp. 134-153

Convergence of the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm to a global optimum of the marginal log likelihood function for unconstrained latent variable models with categorical indicators is presented. The sufficient conditions under which global convergence of the EM algorithm is attainable are...

Heterogeneity in Environmental Demand

Phaneuf, Daniel J. - In: Annual Review of Resource Economics 5 (2013) 1, pp. 227-244

Heterogeneity is a defining characteristic of environmental demand studies that use household-level data. People make different choices due to observed and unobserved differences in preferences and constraints, choice elements are quality-differentiated commodities that can be consumed in...

Modelling air carrier choices with a Segment Specific Cross Nested Logit model

Drabas, Tomasz; Wu, Cheng-Lung - In: Journal of Air Transport Management 32 (2013) C, pp. 8-16

A number of customer segments may exist in any air travel market, differing in the willingness-to-pay, income, age, time of travel or airline preferences. Not accounting for this diversity may introduce a significant variance into any choice model. In this paper we present a Segment Specific...

Evaluating contemporary social exclusion in Europe: a hierarchical latent class approach

Pirani, Elena - In: Quality & Quantity: International Journal of Methodology 47 (2013) 2, pp. 923-941

In recent years, the concept of social exclusion has received a renewed attention in scientific research, as well as in politics. In this contribution we propose a hierarchical Latent Class (LC) model for the analysis of differences and similarities about experiences and perceptions of social...

Organizationally-relevant configurations: the value of modeling local dependence

Patel, Pankaj; Thatcher, Sherry; Bezrukova, Katerina - In: Quality & Quantity: International Journal of Methodology 47 (2013) 1, pp. 287-311

Configurations are important across all levels of organizations. Despite the interest in and importance of configurations in research for organizations, the empirical methods for assessing and classifying configurations has not kept pace with the theoretical advancements. Theory suggests that...
