Classifications of these subgroups were based on their psychosocial characteristics (e.g., substance use). Latent class analysis can be applied to determine the sensitivity and specificity of a new test when no standard exists. Multigroup latent class analysis identified two BI-Court subgroups of youth and three truant subgroups. A Multigroup Exploratory Latent Class Analysis. The Great British Class Using latent class analysis on measures of economic, social and cultural capital, from our nationally representative sample, we defined a new model of class in Britain today. There is a growing gulf between the elite and the lower classes, and what used to be termed the middle and working classes seem to be splintering into social classes with systematically differing amounts of cultural and social capital. Applied Latent Class Analysis introduces several innovations in latent class analysis to a wider audience of researchers. The particular modeling approach used to decide how many social classes there are in Britain is termed latent class analysis. Mathematical analysis can help fill in the gaps. Richard Dembo⇓; Rhissa Baseline data collected in two brief intervention projects (BI-Court and Truancy Project) were used to assess similarities and differences in subgroups of at-risk youth. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to group all GOLDN individuals according to the diameter of their fasting (8-hour fast) VLDL, LDL and HDL particles, determined by nuclear resonance spectroscopy.
