Extension to the PATHMOX approach to detect which constructs differentiate segments and to test factor invariance

In this paper we propose an extension to the PATHMOX segmentation algorithm to detect which endogenous latent variables and predictors are responsible for heterogeneity. We also address the problem of factor invariance in the terminal nodes of PATHMOX. We demonstrate the utility of such methodology...

Descripción
Sumario:In this paper we propose an extension to the PATHMOX segmentation algorithm to detect which endogenous latent variables and predictors are responsible for heterogeneity. We also address the problem of factor invariance in the terminal nodes of PATHMOX. We demonstrate the utility of such methodology on real mental health data by investigating the relationship between dementia, depression and delirium.
