CDMs, Psychometrics, Latent variablesAbstract
CDMs represent a multidimensional choice in psychometrics when observable and latent variables are believed to be categorical.The study presents a thorough revision of the literature about original models, as well as its applications and current developments in psychometric research. Additionally, a revision of statistical software to estimate models and examples of applications in behavioral sciences and health care is also presented. Didactic examples based on simulated data show the capability of models to classify people according to their latent attributes.
