Kuvaus

The sample could supposed to have data from sub population having differences in mean or covariance structures. The Gaussian mixture model offers tool to find those sub populations. The course present theory and general concepts related to this method. It further presents the stages in mixture modelling with latent profile analysis and growth mixture modelling, which are two often used model specified in mixture modelling. The course present short examples of different options to specify mixture models and extensions of mixture modelling in multigroup and multilevel context.

Osaamistavoitteet

Targeted learning outcomes: Students understand the theory and general concepts related to Gaussian mixture modelling. They have knowledge how to build and interpret latent profile model and growth mixture model.
