LPA: Latent Profile Analysis; LC: Latent Class; Log-L (H0): Log-likelihood of hypothesized model (H0)

AIC: Akaike's Information Criterion (= -2 × model log-likelihood + 2 × number of model parameters); BIC: Bayesian Information Criterion (= -2 × model log-likelihood + log(n) × number of model parameters)
