mixture item response modeling and latent class analysis in Lavaan: possible?

[Shadi]

Hi dear friends.

I'm new to Lavaan and have a question.

can mixture item response modelling and latent class analysis be done with Lavaan?

If so, what are the libraries?

If not, what packages are used?

And, I would be grateful if someone introduced some books, and tutorials related to doing mixture modeling and latent class analysis.

No, lavaan cannot do mixture models

I have tutorials on how to do LCA and HMM with packages as tidySEM and depmixS4

This is a very good intro book

Hi

thanks for your reply.

I have several questions and would be grateful if you could help me out because I am new to this field.

1. Are the tutorials appropriate for me as a beginner and are they complete?
2. Is the book you introduced appropriate for me as a beginner? I want to work on mixture item response theory modelling that it subsumes latent class analysis. is it ok to start with latent class analysis?
3. do u happen to have the book because I cannot download it due to the sanctions imposed on my country and I cannot afford it.
