		Lazarsfeld's latent class analysis was taken up by the class proponents as a method that would allow the scientific assessment of a person's class membership.
		Lazarsfeld's latent distance model, for instance, is equivalent to a latent class model in which some of the latent class probabilities are forced to be equal.

	NOTES ON TRUTH, EVIDENCE AND STATISTICS
		In his analysis of causal explanation in the social, medical and physical sciences, the philosopher Paul Humphreys begins by asserting "that an inviolable requirement of a satisfactory scientific explanation is that it be true." Truth is judged by whether the explanation provides understanding of how the world works.
		Lazarsfeld's paper, "Interpretation of Statistical Relations as a Research Operation" (Lazarsfeld and Rosenberg, 1955: 115-125) derives from a 1946 presentation, and was very influential among survey researchers.
		Like Lazarsfeld, he describes how every researcher proceeds to "ordinarily make causal inferences from data on correlations." Since Simon's "research man" seems to be more psychometrically trained than Lazarsfeld's survey analyst, his variables are quantitative and probably are thought to have a multivariate normal distribution.

		The Austrian Paul-Lazarsfeld-Gesellschaft für Sozialforschung is a social science institute pro-moting the ideas of Paul F. LAZARSFELD, one of the fathers of modern empirical social sci-ence in the city where he was born, Vienna.
		Amidst the stresses of world depression and the rise of fascism in the early 1930s, modern survey research was pioneered by Paul Lazarsfeld, Marie Jahoda and Hans Zeisel in a survey of the behaviour and attitudes of the unemployed in a small industrial city outside Vienna.
		The PLG was founded in 1979, one generation later, as a social-science institute to promote the study of public opinion for public policy in the new and democratic Austrian Second Republic.

		In 1940, a group of researchers headed by Paul Lazarsfeld decided to find out just how much influence the mass media exerted during presidential elections.
		Lazarsfeld then began to study the individuals who were relied on for information, calling them "opinion leaders." He found that an opinion leader could be just about anyone, from a homemaker next door to a coworker on the assembly line.
		However, further analysis revealed that the opinion leaders were better informed than the average person and that, in general, they tended to read more newspapers and magazines and listen to more radio news and commentary.

		Without Paul F. Lazarsfeld the social sciences would not be what they are today.
		Lazarsfeld's systematic criticism of observational, conceptual, and inferential procedures in sociology led to the the formation of universally applied observational and analytical techniques, such as the panel design of observation and contextual and multivariate analysis.
		Spanning the years 1933 to 1972, they encompass his own works of social research, as well as writings on methodology and the history and sociology of social research.
