报告摘要：Latent Variable Models are intensively applied in Social and behavioral sciences andincreasingly adopted to medical and other natural sciences research. Datacollected for different research purposes can often be characterized with ordinality. The complexity of data may require models to reveal linear andnon-linear structures. In this talk I will concentrate on non-linear models andrecent development in this area.
