Gitta Lubke
Professor Emerita
Research and teaching interests
Gitta Lubke's research interests are in general latent variable modeling and data mining. In addition to the challenges of analysing complex human behavior such as psychiatric disorders, she is interested in the analysis of genetic data. Current substantive work focuses on data mining approaches and integrative data analysis applied to large multi county collections of data related to childhood aggression. Other areas of expertise include mixture modeling, twin models, measurement invariance and multi-group factor analysis, longitudinal analyses, and the analysis of categorical data.
