Preferred Label : Latent Class Analysis;
MeSH definition : A statistical algorithm used to analyze clusters of observed variables by constructing
categorical unobserved or latent segment based on weighted analysis and the average
probabilities. Such latent classes are used to infer variables whose relationships
are not directly observed. In biomedical research, it is often used to categorize
data that allows the determination of symptom clusters.;
