随着与hiv相关的行为研究越来越趋向于寻找高风险性行为的预测因素，需要更有效的方法来确定模式。两种统计技术，同质性分析和潜在类分析，有用的缩放二元多元数据概况。这两种方法都被用来分析两个同性恋活跃男性样本的性行为模式，一个样本是343名参加艾滋病研讨会的白人同性恋男性，另一个样本是全国招募的837名非洲裔美国同性恋男性。结果支持存在一个单一的，非线性的，潜在的维度的男性同性恋行为与艾滋病毒相关的风险承担一致。这两种统计方法都提供了一种有效的方法来优化性行为模式，这是艾滋病毒相关研究的一个关键结果变量。（PsycINFO数据库记录(c) 2019 APA，版权所有）
As HIV-related behavioral research moves increasingly in the direction of seeking to determine predictors of high-risk sexual behavior, more efficient methods of specifying patterns are needed. Two statistical techniques, homogeneity analysis and latent class analysis, useful in scaling binary multivariate data profiles are presented. Both were used to analyze reported sexual behavior patterns in two samples of homosexually active men, one sample of 343 primarily White gay men attending an HIV workshop and one sample of 837 African American gay men recruited nationally. Results support the existence of a single, nonlinear, latent dimension underlying male homosexual behaviors consistent with HIV-related risk taking. Both statistical methods provide an efficient means to optimally scale sexual behavior patterns, a critical outcome variable in HIV-related research.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)
