The current volume, Advances in Latent Variable Mixture Models,
contains chapters by all of the speakers who participated in the
2006 CILVR conference, providing not just a snapshot of the event,
but more importantly chronicling the state of the art in latent
variable mixture model research. The volume starts with an overview
chapter by the CILVR conference keynote speaker, Bengt Muthen,
offering a ""lay of the land"" for latent variable mixture models
before the volume moves to more specific constellations of topics.
Part I, Multilevel and Longitudinal Systems, deals with mixtures
for data that are hierarchical in nature either due to the data's
sampling structure or to the repetition of measures (of varied
types) over time. Part II, Models for Assessment and Diagnosis,
addresses scenarios for making judgments about individuals' state
of knowledge or development, and about the instruments used for
making such judgments. Finally, Part III, Challenges in Model
Evaluation, focuses on some of the methodological issues associated
with the selection of models most accurately representing the
processes and populations under investigation.It should be stated
that this volume is not intended to be a first exposure to latent
variable methods. Readers lacking such foundational knowledge are
encouraged to consult primary and/or secondary didactic resources
in order to get the most from the chapters in this volume. Once
armed with that basic understanding of latent variable methods, we
believe readers will find this volume incredibly exciting.
