Aims of seminar 30th June 1-30 to 2-30 by Paul Stoneman, Policy Institute - “An Introduction to Latent Class Analysis: Practical Considerations for Social and Political Research”
Latent class analysis (LCA) is a technique used to classify people within populations based on shared/similar characteristics. The approach assumes that membership of such classes can be accounted for by identifying patterns of scores across survey items or other statistical indicators. There has been a significant increase in use of LCA over the past 20 years, and its application continues to expand and evolve. In this seminar, Paul will present practical considerations when applying LCA to social and political research based on my own research experiences, and will offer some thoughts on the technique's capacity for hypothesis testing and more ‘proof of concept’ work
