Hello, Who can help me to rebuild the classificationmodel of Latent Gold in SPSS. The following is the problem:
I used Latent Gold to make a latent class regression model with 10 nominal independent variables and 1 nominal dependent variable (with 5 levels). In Latent Gold I specified 3 latent classes. So my model will include 3 nominal regression models (for each latent class one model). Now I want to rebuild the model in SPSS to predict the levels of so called 'hold out cases' (using the model and the independent variables I want to predict the level of the dependent variable and the latent class) Using the latent gold outputdata I can make a 5x3 matrix with conditional probabilities P(Y=y|X=x) for y=1,...,5 (number of levels dependent variable) and x=1,...,3 (number of latent classes). If I know the latent class I can obtain the predicted level of the dependent variable and vice versa if I know the predicted level of the dependent variable I can obtain the latent class). So I need to know one of the predicted variables to obtain the other. But how can I get one of these variables with the latent gold output and the 5x3 matrix with conditional probs? I hope that someone can help me. Thanks in advance, Pascal . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
