MSEM-RS = mixture structural equation model with regime-switching; MC = Monte Carlo; True θ = True parameter values; Mean θ^ = Average point estimate for each parameter across MC runs; 2.5%tile and 97.5%tile = 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles for each parameter across MC runs; aSE^=SE estimate for a parameter across MC runs.
