Bayesian Information Criterion Values and Bootstrap Likelihood Ratio Tests for Latent Class Analysis of Substance Abuse Symptoms and Conflict Tactics Scales (Aggression) Items

Number of Classes Extracted
2 3 4
Substance Abuse Symptoms LCA
 BIC 1509.18 1508.11 1535.79
 BLRT 329.70* 43.40* 14.67
Conflict Tactics Scales (Aggression) LCA
 BIC 1429.12 1382.72 1410.18
 BLRT 386.41* 98.60* 24.74*

Note. LCA = Latent Class Analysis; BIC = Bayesian Information Criterion; BLRT = Bootstrap Likelihood Ratio Test; df = 8 for BLRT for LCA of substance abuse/dependence symptoms; df = 10 for BLRT for LCA of aggression items.
