Likelihood of latent variables in hierarchical model for model comparison

So is that expression just the log likelihood of the data from group s? If so, can’t you extract the subset of the log_likelihood group associated with the data observed from group s?

I apologize for my confusion. Your original question referenced x and y and y_s and x_s, but then the model includes x_s, xs, and obs_x. All the different x’s hurt my head.
