www.statmodel.comModels in Mplus can include continuous latent variables, categorical latent variables, or a combination of continuous and categorical latent variables. In the figure above, Ellipse A describes models with only continuous latent variables. Ellipse B describes models with only categorical latent variables.

Latent Dirichlet Allocation
ai.stanford.eduThe LDA model is presented in Section 3 and is compared to related latent variable models in Section 4. We discuss inference and parameter estimation for LDA in Section 5. An illustrative example of fitting LDA to data is provided in Section 6. Empirical results in text modeling, text

Lecture 9: Hidden Markov Models
www.cs.mcgill.caHidden Markov Models (HMMs) Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are used for situations in which: { The data consists of a sequence of observations { The observations depend (probabilistically) on the internal state of a dynamical system { The true state of the system is unknown (i.e., it is a hidden or latent variable) There are numerous applications ...

proceedings.neurips.ccset of latent variable z is generated from the prior distribution p (z) and the data x is generated by the generative distribution p (xjz) conditioned on z: z ˘p (z);x ˘p (xjz). In general, parameter estimation of directed graphical models is often challenging due to intractable posterior inference.
