Abbreviations: AIC = Akaike Information Criteria; BIC = Bayesian Information Criterion; CFI = comparative fit index; GMM = Growth mixture model; LL = log likelihood; n/a = not applicable; n.s. = not significant; RMSEA = root mean square error of approximation; VLMR = Vuong-Lo-Mendell-Rubin likelihood ratio test.
Random coefficients latent growth curve model with linear and quadratic components; Chi2 = 60.528, 26 df, p = .0001, CFI = 0.962, RMSEA = 0.073.
3-class model was selected, based on its having the smallest BIC and a significant VLMR. Further, the VLMR is not significant for the 4-class model, and the 4-class model estimated a class with only 1.5% of the sample – a class size that is unlikely to be reliable.
This number is the Chi2 statistic for the VLMR for morning and evening fatigue. When significant, the VLMR test provides evidence that the K-class model fits the data better than the K-1-class model.
Random coefficients latent growth curve model with linear and quadratic components; Chi2 = 78.126, 26 df, p < .00005, CFI = 0.965, RMSEA = 0.089.
3-class model was selected, based on its having the smallest BIC and a significant VLMR. Further, the VLMR is not significant for the 4-class model.
