Peer reviewedWessels, Holger; Von Eye, Alexander – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1996
A two-step procedure is proposed for detecting behavioral patterns in observational data in evaluation research. Latent class analysis is used to derive a classification of single observations at the variable level. The second step uses the probabilities that each observation falls into latent classes to derive behavioral preference scores. (SLD)
