Abstract
⺠We study flexible latent structure models to analyze space-time variation in LBW. ⺠There is unexplained space-time variation beyond that explained by predictors. ⺠The proportion of black people and income are risk factors of LBW in GA and SC. ⺠Two dominant residual temporal components are estimated. ⺠Our model provides a better goodness-of-fit to data than the conventional models.
