LatentGOLD · Tilburg, The Netherlands
What it is
LatentGOLD is Windows desktop software for latent class and latent profile analysis, finite mixture modeling, choice modeling, segmentation, clustering, and advanced latent-variable work. It provides statistical tests, regression models, scripting, and point-and-click modules. Basic includes Cluster, DFactor, Regression, and Step3. Advanced/Syntax adds complex sampling, multilevel latent class models, continuous latent variables, a point-and-click Markov module, and the LG-equations syntax language. Choice options cover first-choice, ranking, best-worst, rating, and allocation data. The software imports ASCII text and SPSS system files, and LatentGOLD 6.1 supports Windows 10 and 11. The maker supports installation only on Windows, although Mac use through Wine or virtual machines has been reported. There is no stated record limit, but runtime depends on data, machine speed, and requested output. Pricing includes a 14-day trial, free academic licensing for eligible users, and paid licenses.
