Replication Code for Latent Class Analysis of National Beliefs

Replication code for the manuscript "Narrowing the Gap Between Conceptualization and Measurement in Latent Class Analysis: The Case of National Beliefs". The commands replicate all crosstabulations and regressions presented in the paper. The code was authored by Yuval Feinstein and is hosted on Harvard Dataverse, with a last update timestamp of 2026-06-23.

Use Cases

• Replicate statistical crosstabulations based on the described latent class analysis.
• Replicate regression analyses presented in the manuscript on national beliefs.
• Study the implementation of latent class analysis for measurement and conceptualization.
• Use the code as a template for similar social science research workflows.

Strengths

• Code is directly linked to a specific, peer-reviewed manuscript, providing clear context.
• The description explicitly states the code replicates all crosstabulations and regressions from the paper.
• The author is named (Yuval Feinstein) and the hosting platform (Harvard Dataverse) is specified.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
