Disaggregate Analysis

An analysis that explicitly recognizes the possibility of heterogeneity. There are two approaches to performing disaggregate analyses:

• Conducting separate analyses for each observation (e.g., estimating separate regression models for all observations in a repeated measures study).
• Conducting separate analyses for different sub-groups (e.g., estimating separate regression models for each state).
• Using Mixture Models.

Also known as

• Individual-level analysis (when the analysis is conducted at the respondent level).
• Segment-level analysis (when the analysis is conducted at the Segment level.
