Car ownership in Chinese metropolitans
In the context of urban mobility evolution, the perceived value of private cars, encompassing both ownership and usage facets, exhibits significant demographic variability. Grasping the nuanced balance between these values is pivotal for crafting effective strategies to propel sustainable mobility transitions in urban settings. This study investigated the perceived value dynamics of private cars among respondents in Beijing, the Shanghai-Jiangsu-…
Bridging circularity and inclusion in urban metabolic transitions
Waste is a key material stock and flow in urban metabolism, and circular economy (CE) strategies are increasingly promoted to enhance resource efficiency and reduce environmental burdens. Yet CE practices do not always evolve in harmony with dynamic social needs, leading to exclusionary outcomes. To examine how circularity and inclusion interact in urban metabolic transitions, this paper analyses the evolution of Almere's waste system from the 19…

A Small Latent Class in Growth Mixture Modeling
Growth mixture modeling (GMM) allows researchers to explore heterogeneous growth trajectories across individuals. The unknown subgroup in GMM could be small in the population, but unestablished minimum class size rules (e.g., 1%, 5%, or 10%) may exclude small classes that may require unique representation and support. There has been no systematic investigation on the behaviors of GMM specifically for the identification of small latent classes. We…

Outlying Observation Diagnostics in Growth Curve Modeling
Growth curve models are widely used for investigating growth and change phenomena. Many studies in social and behavioral sciences have demonstrated that data without any outlying observation are rather an exception, especially for data collected longitudinally. Ignoring the existence of outlying observations may lead to inaccurate or even incorrect statistical inferences. Therefore, it is crucial to identify outlying observations in growth curve …
The Impact of Prior Information on Bayesian Latent Basis Growth Model Estimation
Latent basis growth modeling is a flexible version of the growth curve modeling, in which it allows the basis coefficients of the model to be freely estimated, and thus the optimal growth trajectories can be determined from the observed data. In this article, Bayesian estimation methods are applied for latent basis growth modeling. Because the latent basis coefficients are important parameters that determine the growth pattern in latent basis gro…
