Abstract

The adaption and application of mixture modeling in educational research continues to propagate even while the analytic extensions necessary to deal with complex data structures and variable systems are still being developed and evaluated. The dissemination of modeling advancements and accompanying best-practices often lags behind the empirical demand for these methods. This paper symposium presents an array of recent developments in advanced mixture modeling, including multiple-group, multilevel, and longitudinal techniques, that are designed to address some of the critical analytic challenges already arising in educational research applications of latent class analysis, latent transition analysis, and growth mixture modeling.
