Determinantal methods in latent class analysis.

Albert Madansky

Expert InsightsPublished 1958

Some extensions of the existing determinantal methods for solving the accounting equations in latent class analysis. These extensions cover more cases than previous methods, produce new sufficient conditions for identifiability of the latent class model, and show the necessity of various sufficient conditions for identifiability. Implications to the identifiability problem are discussed. (Published in Psychometrika, June 1960.)
