CHAPTER 17so on. In mixture modeling, the label following the dash is the name ofeach categorical latent variable when there are more than one categoricallatent variables in the generation of the data.In addition, the NGROUPS option of the MONTECARLO command isused for the generation of data for multiple group Monte Carlosimulation studies.MODEL POPULATION:%OVERALL%%class label%MODEL POPULATION used in conjunction with %OVERALL% and%class label% is used to provide the population parameter values to beused in the generation of data for mixture models. Statements following%OVERALL% refer to the model common to all latent classes.Statements following %class label% refer to class-specific modelstatements. In addition, the GENCLASSES option of theMONTECARLO command is used for the generation of data for mixturemodels.The statements in the overall part of the model include informationabout the means, variances, and covariances of the background variablesand the specification of the overall model including information aboutparameters that do not vary across the classes. The class-specific partsof the model describe the parameters that vary across classes.MODEL POPULATION:%WITHIN%%BETWEEN%MODEL POPULATION used in conjunction with %WITHIN% and%BETWEEN% is used to provide the population parameter values to beused in the generation of clustered data. %WITHIN% is used to providepopulation parameter values for the individual-level model parameters.%BETWEEN% is used to provide population parameter values for thecluster-level model parameters.626
