item results

important background covaraites

Random forest regression is used with τ or θ as a response and background variables in some categoires as covariates. P-value for the importance is reported. The selected categories are c(“Sampling / weighting”, “Not assigned” ,“Sampling / weighting (derived)", “Background questionnaire (trend)” ,“Background questionnaire”, “Background questionnaire (derived)”

variables

  • ftime: time until the first action taken
  • time: total time of a person’s process
  • naction or #action: the number of actions of a person’s process

summaries

  • Total or first action time has weak association with θ.
  • # of actions and first action time have weak or no assciation.
  • # of actions has some association with the response.
  • τ and first action time has negative correaltion.
  • τ and # of actions have weak or no association
  • # of actions and θ time have positive correlation.

LPA

Latent profile analysis is done by tidyLAP. This R package uses multivariate Gaussian mixture models and reports many model selection criteria. See https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tidyLPA/vignettes/Introduction%5Fto%5FtidyLPA.html The clustering is perfomed based on person characteristics. We compare models based on our estimated parameters, observed covariates and both.

party_invitations-1, tickets, book_order: these items give more clusters using hidden traits + observed traits than using observed traits alone.

Best model according to AIC is Model 6 with 4 classes.
Best model according to AWE is Model 6 with 2 classes.
Best model according to BIC is Model 6 with 4 classes.
Best model according to CLC is Model 6 with 4 classes.
Best model according to KIC is Model 6 with 4 classes.

An analytic hierarchy process, based on the fit indices AIC, AWE, BIC, CLC, and KIC (Akogul & Erisoglu, 2017), suggests the best solution is Model 6 with 4 classes.
