Abstract:	The SAMSI Program in Latent Variables in the Social Sciences provided a forum in which a variety of latent variable models of the social sciences were discussed and investigated by quantitative social scientists (e.g., psychometricians, sociometricians, econometricians, statisticians, and biostatisticians). Working groups were formed to investigate several topics, including the synthesis of multilevel models and latent variable structural equation models, complex sampling in latent variable models, longitudinal models, categorical observed variables, model uncertainty, and latent variables in social networks. This presentation summarizes some of the major activities, research projects, and accomplishments that grew out of these collaborations.
