Definition(s)

  • Many quantities of interest in sociology, psychology, public health, and medicine are unobservable but well-conceived characteristics such as attitudes, temperament, psychological diagnoses, and health behaviors. Such constructs can be measured indirectly by using multiple items as indicators of the unobservable characteristics. [Source: Encyclopedia of Epidemiology; Latent Class Models]
