This book presents recent developments in the theory and
application of latent variable models (LVMs) by some of the most
prominent researchers in the field. Topics covered involve a range
of LVM frameworks including item response theory, structural
equation modeling, factor analysis, and latent curve modeling, as
well as various non-standard data structures and innovative
applications. The book is divided into two sections, although
several chapters cross these content boundaries. Part one focuses
on complexities which involve the adaptation of latent variables
models in research problems where real-world conditions do not
match conventional assumptions. Chapters in this section cover
issues such as analysis of dyadic data and complex survey data, as
well as analysis of categorical variables. Part two of the book
focuses on drawing real-world meaning from results obtained in
LVMs. In this section there are chapters examining issues involving
assessment of model fit, the nature of uncertainty in parameter
estimates, inferences, and the nature of latent variables and
individual differences. This book appeals to researchers and
graduate students interested in the theory and application of
latent variable models. As such, it serves as a supplementary
reading in graduate level courses on latent variable models.
Prerequisites include basic knowledge of latent variable models.
