Person-Centered Methods

The book presents a clear overview of the person-centered statistical method, which focuses on analyzing individuals or objects based on their characteristic patterns rather than traditional variable-centered approaches. In this second edition, the relationship between log-linear modeling (LLM) and configural frequency analysis (CFA) is explored. While LLM aims to uncover dependencies among variables, CFA investigates significant residuals in models that do not fit the data well, highlighting the distinct purposes of these analytical methods.
