It is found that by examining manifest categories it is possible to reconstruct information about the latent partition and about its relation to the manifest partitions.
Abstract
Latent partition analysis has been formulated to study the relationships between two or more partitions of the same set of items. The major structural hypothesis is that a latent partition underlies the manifest partitions; that is, it is assumed that each item belongs to a latent category and that the manifest categories are derived by dividing and combining the latent categories. We have found that by examining manifest categories it is possible to reconstruct information about the latent partition and about its relation to the manifest partitions.
