LCA and Cluster analysis in SPSS

Hi All,

I am struggling to do LCA in SPSS.

I would like to know is it possible to run Latent Class Analysis in SPSS
16.0 or any other versions of it. or any other add-ons like AMOS 16.0?

If the answer is yes, please let me know how to do that.

Thanks in advance

Re: LCA and Cluster analysis in SPSS

dear ajay,

as far as I know it is not possible to do LCA in SPSS.
But there are some good alternatives.
You can do LCA in SAS using PROC LCA (http://methcenter.psu.edu/),
LEM(http://www.uvt.nl/faculteiten/fsw/organisatie/departementen/mto/software2.html)
and GLLAMM in Stata.

LEM and PROC LCA are easy to handle, while GLLAMM is a little bit
complicated for LCA.

Ajay:

As far as I know it is not possible in SPSS. For e.g. the cluster analysis in spss runs on distance while LCA is probabilistic approach. The process to create entire alogirth in spss may be worth as it will take significantly higher efforts than purchasing LCA capable software.

Re: LCA and Cluster analysis in SPSS

Hi All,

Now it is well possible to run LCA in SPSS if you have installed R programmability extension & the e1071 package from http://cran.r-project.org/:

get FILE='C:\Program Files\SPSSInc\SPSS16\Samples\GSS93 subset.sav' /keep bigband to hvymetal.
DATASET NAME gss93 WINDOW=FRONT.

* prepare a sample of binary data.
select if max(bigband to hvymetal) >= 1.
exe.

mis val all ().
val lab all 1 "Likes it" 0 "Other feelings".
recode all (1, 2 = 1)(else = 0).
exe.

* run Latent Classes - must have installed R and e1071 package .
BEGIN PROGRAM R.
require(e1071)
casedata <- spssdata.GetDataFromSPSS()

m <- countpattern(casedata)
lcamodel <- lca(m, 3, niter=10)

print(lcamodel)

END PROGRAM.

It gives:

LCA-Result
----------

Datapoints: 1487
Classes: 3
Probability of classes
[1] 0.325 0.339 0.335
Itemprobabilities
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
1 0.14 0.22 0.50 0.41 0.18 0.17 0.10 0.36 0.03 0.20 0.17
2 0.83 0.55 0.61 0.79 0.83 0.88 0.67 0.79 0.50 0.17 0.12
3 0.63 0.56 0.73 0.45 0.47 0.38 0.49 0.33 0.07 0.00 0.04

(My humble interpretation: 1=Hard music / 2=Classical music / 3=American traditional.)

Hope this helps,

Amos 16 newly supports mixture analysis, which is a form of LCA.

From the Amos 16 "What's New":
"Amos 16.0 performs mixture modeling. Mixture modeling is appropriate
when you have a model that is incorrect for an entire population, but
where the population can be divided into subgroups in such a way that
the model is correct in each subgroup. Mixture modeling is discussed
in the context of structural equation modeling by Arminger, Stein &
Wittenberg (1999), Hoshino (2001), Lee (2007, Chapter 11), Loken
(2004), Vermunt & Magidson (2005), and Zhu & Lee (2001), among
others.

mixtures in the LISREL model. Psychometrika, 66(1), 133-152.

statistics in behavioral science (pp. 1922-1927). Chichester, UK:

types. Multivariate Behavioral Research, 39(4), 625-652.

Arminger, G., Stein, P., & Wittenberg, J. (1999). Mixtures of
conditional mean- and covariance-structure models. Psychometrika,
64(4), 475-494.
Any model can be used in mixture modeling. Example 34 and Example 35
use a saturated model. These examples also demonstrate the fitting of
latent structure analysis models, which require the observed
variables to be independent (uncorrelated for multivariate normal
variables). Example 36 employs a regression model. Factor analysis
models have also been used in mixture modeling (Lubke & Muthén,
2005).

Lubke, G. H., & Muthén, B. (2005). Investigating population
heterogeneity with factor mixture models. Psychological Methods,
10(1), 21-39.
Mixture modeling is often known as latent class analysis. In the
terminology of Lazarsfeld (Lazarsfeld & Henry, 1968), the term latent
class analysis is reserved for the variant of latent structure
analysis in which all variables are categorical. Amos does not
perform that type of latent class analysis."

Re: LCA and Cluster analysis in SPSS

In reply to this post by ajay atluri

Hi Ajay,

This is still not possible to do in SPSS, not even in their latest version.

But there are some good softwares like Latent Gold and MPlus. In Latent Gold, you have Bayes constants which avoids boundary solutions, helps in relaxing and diagnosing local dependence and many other features.

Mplus also has variety of features and capabilities, but I find it more complex.

There is also one free software LEM, if you want to try. It doesnt have as many features as Gold and MPlus, but it handles basic things like unconstrained and constrained LCA, loglinear, and other data modeling methods, gives asymptotic errors for parameter estimates etc. Local dependence can be easily handled using this.

There are 2 SAS procedures like PROC LTA and PROC LCA which are available free of charge from The SAS Methodology Center's website.

Hope this would help!

Hi Jan and listers,

Are there tutorial reference available on the use of R programmability extension within the SPSS invironment?

Thank you.

Now it is well possible to run LCA in SPSS if you have installed R programmability extension & the e1071 package from http://cran.r-project.org/:

get FILE='C:\Program Files\SPSSInc\SPSS16\Samples\GSS93 subset.sav' /keep bigband to hvymetal.
DATASET NAME gss93 WINDOW=FRONT.

* prepare a sample of binary data.
select if max(bigband to hvymetal) >= 1.
exe.

mis val all ().
val lab all 1 "Likes it" 0 "Other feelings".
recode all (1, 2 = 1)(else = 0).
exe.

* run Latent Classes - must have installed R and e1071 package .
BEGIN PROGRAM R.
require(e1071)
casedata <- spssdata.GetDataFromSPSS()

m <- countpattern(casedata)
lcamodel <- lca(m, 3, niter=10)

print(lcamodel)

END PROGRAM.

It gives:

LCA-Result
----------

Datapoints: 1487
Classes: 3
Probability of classes
[1] 0.325 0.339 0.335
Itemprobabilities
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
1 0.14 0.22 0.50 0.41 0.18 0.17 0.10 0.36 0.03 0.20 0.17
2 0.83 0.55 0.61 0.79 0.83 0.88 0.67 0.79 0.50 0.17 0.12
3 0.63 0.56 0.73 0.45 0.47 0.38 0.49 0.33 0.07 0.00 0.04

(My humble interpretation: 1=Hard music / 2=Classical music / 3=American traditional.)

Hope this helps,

Jan

Re: LCA and Cluster analysis in SPSS

There is a chapter with examples in the book Programming and Data Management for SPSS 16 on R programming within SPSS. You can purchase hardcopy or download a free PDF. There is a link on the SPSS Developer Central main page (www.spss.com/devcentral).

Software for Factor Mixture Modeling?

In reply to this post by ajay atluri

Dear All, I am intending to apply the Factor Mixture Modeling (FMM) on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in order to subtype the disorder into homogenous phenotypes; however, I do not know the software that should be used to perform FMM. I would appreciate it if you can provide me with the software used for this purpose and the procedure (methodology) of how to perform the analysis such as what are input data files, dataset format, output data files, how output data files can be read, and what are the parameters need to focus on? Thanks in advance Dopamine

Re: Software for Factor Mixture Modeling?

Check on the MPLUS software
goto

www.statmodel.com
and look at the users manual to see if they have examples similar to what you are looking for.
Then you may want to sign up for one of their courses. They typically text an 8 session course throughout the year at Johns Hopkins
