Profile
Dr. Lubke's area of research is in the field of latent variable modeling with a focus on structural equation mixture models. Her current research concentrates on the evaluation, the further development, and the application of mixture models. Her methodological research interest is embedded in a more general interest in psychiatry and psychiatric genetics. Specifically, she is interested in using mixture models to investigate whether disorders are best described in terms of qualitatively different subtypes or in terms of gradual severity differences. Other areas of interest include measurement invariance, latent class analysis, cluster analysis, multi-group factor analysis, longitudinal analyses, analysis of categorical data, and genetic statistics.
