Re: Online course: Introduction to Latent Class and Finite Mixture Models
For those of you who did not have an opportunity to attend the short course at the 2005 CSNA/Interface meetings presented by Jay Magidson and Tony Babinec, you may wish to know that Dr. Magidson will be offering a course on finite mixture models August 5 - September 2 online at: www.statisticalinnovations.com. Latent class/finite mixture models offer numerous advantages over traditional clustering approaches. The free demo version of Latent GOLD, will allow you to estimate models on the various sample data sets used in this course. Participants will be able to interact with each other and with the instructor via a private discussion board; there are no specific times when you have to be online.
