Description: Polytomous (multi-category) data is common in many fields that utilise surveys, tests or- assessments. This workshop will deal with latent class analysis and latent class regression analysis of this data type, using PoLCA package. Furthermore, we will cover the necessary data preparation for this analysis, specifying the model, and calculating/extracting fit values. Finally, we will look into different ways of plotting results for this analysis.

Minimal registration fee: 20 euro (or 20 USD or 800 UAH)
