Aim
• Examine proximal sleeping arrangements between parents and their infant/child in terms of– Potential influences on other care practices
– Perceived benefits to parents/child
• Effect of bed-sharing practices on– Breastfeeding / pacifier use / infant well-being
– Child development / behaviour / health / sleeping patterns
– Maternal anxiety / bonding / sleep duration

Bed-sharing definition
• Not easy!– Occupants of the bed / the room and proximity to parents
can change throughout the night / between different days of week
• Bed-sharer – if they usually shared a bed with an adult for nocturnal sleep (not nec. the parental bed)
• Bed-sharing took priority if a variety of practices were reported either between days or across the period of a single night

Latent Class Growth Analysis
• Alternative to LLCA• Fits polynomials on logit scale, not in probability
space (more flexible than one might think)• Recall that LLCA items thresholds also estimated on
logit scale
• More parsimonius than LLCA (less parameters)• Unlikely to capture some shapes e.g. a relapse

• i/s/q are factors defined by FIXING loadings onto the manifest variables• In LCGA these growth factors are constant (zero variance) and are
uncorrelated• In GMM the growth factors have a variance, and are correlated with each
other (Cor(i,s) ne 0)

Choosing the growth parameters
• With LLCA there are no choices to be made regarding how to describe/parameterize the ‘trajectories’ – they don’t really exist
• With LCGA you can fit:– 4-class linear– 4-class quadratic– 4-class with two linear and two quadratic– 4-class with 1 cubic, 1 quad, 1 linear, 1 constant– Etc.

Choosing the factor loadings
• We have five repeated measures

ONE OR MORE MULTINOMIAL LOGIT PARAMETERS WERE FIXED TO AVOID SINGULARITY OF THE INFORMATION MATRIX.
THE SINGULARITY IS MOST LIKELY BECAUSE THE MODEL IS NOT IDENTIFIED, OR BECAUSE OF EMPTY CELLS IN THE JOINT
DISTRIBUTION OF THE CATEGORICAL LATENT VARIABLES AND ANY INDEPENDENT VARIABLES.

Curves may look similar(ish), but check class distribution and pattern assignment

Model fitting
• Aim is to find the simplest model which explains the data
• As with LCA, compare models with different classes• Simplify polynomials if possible
– Start with i/s/q and then constrain q terms to be zero if they are negligible

How constraints can get you out of a pickle
• 5-class model:
ONE OR MORE PARAMETERS WERE FIXED TO AVOID SINGULARITY OF THE INFORMATION MATRIX. THE SINGULARITY IS MOST LIKELY BECAUSE THE MODEL IS NOT IDENTIFIED, OR BECAUSE OF EMPTY CELLS IN THE JOINT DISTRIBUTION OF THE CATEGORICAL VARIABLES IN THE MODEL.
THE FOLLOWING PARAMETERS WERE FIXED:

• Then re-run the model – doesn’t always work!!!

Conclusions
• LLCA / LCGA can be fitted to repeated binary data• LCGA uses less parameters but cannot capture all
shapes so equivalent model may be more parsimonious but have poorer fit
• Output from both is posterior probabilities for class membership → weighted regression models
