Sentence examples for latent path from inspiring English sources

Hence, we accepted model 2 as our final model with constraining latent path coefficients and covariances to be equal across groups.

Using latent path analysis, we evaluate which of the three hypotheses (disinhibition, susceptibility, or reciprocal) receives most overall support, by each gender, and in different social classes and drinking contexts.

More specifically, we sample the latent path conditioned on the parameters and the observations, and then calculate the quantity in Eq. (2.3) by averaging over the sampled paths to obtain the gradient.

To sample latent paths in biochemical reaction systems, the RJMCMC method [ 33] first generates an initial reaction path that is consistent with the observations.

We developed a general RJMCMC algorithm to sample the latent reaction path in a constrained setting, where the reaction path has to match the observations given at the two ends of a time interval.

Various case-findings properties were tested, interference of socio-demographic and other psychopathology were investigated by logistic regression and relationships of the IPDS and the concept of PDs were studied by a latent variable path analysis.

We investigated three research questions: 1) Do socio-demographic and other psychopathology influence the screening properties of the IPDS? 2) What are the sensitivities and specificities of the IPDS items alone and in combination, and 3) What are the relationships of the 11 IPDS items and the concept of PDs as studied by latent variable path analysis?

We found reliable, occasion-based, age-partialed latent regression paths that influence longitudinal changes within and across intellectual and sensory domains.

Structural equation models using latent variable paths are appropriate techniques for charting longitudinal pathways (in our case between alcohol (mis)use and antisocial behaviour).

Constraining the parameter estimates of all latent factor paths and the covariance (i.e. NA → TDA, AA → ADA, ADA → TDA, NA ↔ AA) to be equal across the two national samples (correlation matrices, means and SDs presented in Tables 2 and 5) showed no significant diminution of fit (omnibus test, p =.16).

Future work using more advanced latent class and path analytic techniques will help our understanding of how these symptom patterns combine and contribute to complex behaviours such as sickness absence.
