Later research by Tucker, Meekins, and Biemer (2008) extend this latent class model to include indicators of response behavior across multiple interviews in a panel. This research develops a number of plausible models which possess the qualities of reliability and validity, in that they appear to accurately capture measurement error, but prove unable to explain a large amount of the variance associated with expenditure reports. These expenditure reports are the main data collected in the CE. This work extends past research by including the relatively recently recorded indicators from
