Notes: The percent reduction in BIC is based on the model allowing one fewer class. The LMR p-value refers to the p-value from the Lo-Mendell-Rubin test statistic from the unconditional latent class model. The test statistic concerns whether the model with a given number of classes has a significantly better fit with the data than the model with one fewer class.
