Title: A Parallel Process Adjusted General Growth Mixture Model for Doubly Inflated, Doubly Censored Data in Mplus

Abstract: Often variables are censored in one or more directions. Ceiling or floor effects are common when scales are not in fact continuously distributed, but treated as so. This talk demonstrates a means of correcting for data that is censored both above and below, while also floor and ceiling inflated. As it stands there is no known or standard approach to resolving this problem. The proposed method is a possible means of correction to a best possible and most unbiased solution and represents a solution to extended common problems in longitudinal growth modeling.

Suggested Readings: Left censored
