✦ Synopsis

This study introduces several recent innovations in latent class analysis to a wider audience of researchers. Many of the world's leading innovators in the field of latent class analysis have contributed essays to the volume, each presenting a key innovation to the basic LCM and illustrating how it can prove useful in situations typically encountered in actual research.
