Latent class motif — umg

Builds a latent class (or latent profile) model: a latent categorical class vertex with mixing proportions, predicting a set of observed indicators. Categorical indicators yield latent class analysis; continuous indicators yield a latent profile model.

Usage

umg_lca(
  indicators = paste0("u", 1:4),
  categorical = TRUE,
  class = "c",
  plate_index = "i = 1, ..., N"
)

Arguments

indicators: Character vector of indicator names.
categorical: Logical; TRUE (default) for categorical indicators (LCA), FALSE for continuous (LPA).
class: Name of the latent class vertex.
plate_index: Index label for the person plate.

Value

An object of class umg.

Examples

plot(umg_lca(paste0("u", 1:4)))
