Abstract
Latent class analysis (LCA) is a method of evaluating non sampling errors, especially measurement error in categorical data. Biemer (2011) introduced four latent class modeling approaches: probability model parameterization, log linear model, modified path model, and graphical model using path diagrams. These models are interchangeable. Latent class probability models express likelihood of cross-classification tables in term of conditional and marginal probabilities for each cell. In this approach model parameters are estimated using EM algorithm. To test latent class model chi-square statistic is used as a measure of goodness-of-fit. In this paper we use LCA and data from a small-scale survey to estimate misclassification error (as a measurement error) of students who had at least a failing grade as well as misclassification error of students with average grades below 14.
