The Role of Conditional Likelihoods in Latent Variable Modeling
In psychometrics, the canonical use of conditional likelihoods is for the Rasch model in measurement. Whilst not disputing the utility of conditional...

Differentiating between mixed-effects and latent-curve approaches to growth modeling
In psychology, mixed-effects models and latent-curve models are both widely used to explore growth over time. Despite this widespread popularity,...
