Collins, Linda M.; Wugalter, Stuart E. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1992
A simulation study was conducted to determine whether latent class model parameters are recovered adequately by Latent Transition Analysis (LTA). Results indicate that parameter recovery is satisfactory overall and that the benefits of adding indicators outweigh the costs. Additional indicators also improve standard errors. An example of LTA is…

Gluck, Myke – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1990
Examines the definition of journal coverage overlap in abstracting and indexing services during the past 30 years of research and expands the definition using a matrix of dissimilarity values. Multidimensional scaling analysis is applied to graphically demonstrate this definition and a naive secondary tool selection algorithm is presented. (43…

Bijleveld, Catrien C. J. H.; de Leeuw, Jan – Psychometrika, 1991
An alternating least squares method for iteratively fitting the longitudinal reduced-rank regression model is proposed. For social and behavioral science applications, the developed algorithm does not rely on the assumption of multinomial errors and allows for scaling of input and output variables. (SLD)
