| Percentage Class 4 | 1 |
Note. p-BLRT is the p value for the bootstrap likelihood ratio test (BLRT) where the null hypothesis is that the k− 1 class model fits better than the k class model. n/a indicates that the BLRT was not available for that model. The last rows indicate the percentage of respondents in each class, with classes ordered from highest to lowest. BIC = Bayesian information criterion.
