In the studies presented below, we adhere to this standard latent trait perspective, as this is the prevailing view on phenotypes in behavioural genetics.
We analyzed the impact of phenotypic measurement issues on gene finding from the standard continuous latent trait perspective.
In a latent failure time perspective, there is a random variable T i for the time to each possible event, but only the time to the first event can be recorded.
From a criminological perspective, the latent spatial variables may help in accounting for unmeasured differences in individual routine-activities (Cohen and Felson 1979), social disorganization (Bursik and Grasmick 1993), the physical environment and the opportunity structure for crime within local areas (Brantingham and Brantingham 1995; Clarke 1995).
Data from Newton and Keenan (1991) were re-analyzed under a latent growth curve modelling (LGCM) perspective, in order to provide an alternative analysis of the development of job involvement across that situational change, and to test the hypothesis that job involvement actually changed over that time period.
In this article, we use the term "psychological well-being" as the experience of a stable, global, and deep sense of well-being, the latent variable associated with our perspective of integrative well-being.
As is common in mixture modelling (e.g. Dempster et al., 1977; see also Friedman et al., 2004 for a graphical model perspective), we introduce latent component allocation variables such that is the component responsible for observation.
A Confirmatory Factor Analysis was performed on AMOS for the two latent variables named benevolent leadership role perspective and benevolent authoritative leadership role perspective.
In this perspective, we accord the latent traits a causal status: one's position on the latent trait determines the probability of endorsing a given item or psychiatric symptom [18], [48].
