Summary/Abstract: The latent Markov model is a variation of the latent class model that is applied to estimate not only the prevalence of latent class membership, but the incidence of transitions over time in latent class membership. We used model-based clustering approach for grouping and detecting inhomogeneities of the Polish attitudes to public and financial institutions. We focused especially on the latent Markov models with covariates which additionally allow us to investigate the dynamic pattern of trust to the Polish institutions for different demographic features. We analyzed data collected as part of the Polish Social Diagnosis using depmixS4 package of R.
