A Motivating Example
What approaches are available? Linear regression? Polynomial linear regression? Other ideas?
What is gmm?
SEM
Latent Class Growth Model
What is mixture-modeling?
Growth Mixture Model
Two methods of implementing GMM in R # http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/docs/OpenMx install.packages(‘OpenMx’) # http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/lcmm/index.html install.packages(‘lcmm’)
OpenMx OpenMx allows considerable freedom.. -> Procedural vs. object-oriented styles. -> Equivalent models with different scripts.
lcmm lcmm is more limited, but.. -> Follows a more familiar syntax for specifying models in R -> Automatic plotting of outputs
Some references plotting longitudinal data getting classifications out of OpenMx
Nonparametric approach # http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/kml3/index.html install.packages(‘kml’) #http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/kml3d/index.html install.packaged(‘kml3d’)
