Why mixture models? • Previous work (clinical/epidemiological) has provided evidence for subgroups • Different aetilogies • Different comorbid factors • Different long-term outcomes • Variability in development poorly captured by standard growth models • Relapsing group
Planned models • LLCA replication of Croudace AJE model • Incorporate covariates into above • LLCA/LCGA models of frequent wetters (binary) • Assessment of gender invariance with knownclass • Parallel modelling of day/night wetting • Ordinal modelling of 3-level measures • Incorporate covariates • Risk of later binary outcome
