Model Fit Indicators for Latent Profile Analyses
| Number of classes | BIC | Entropy | Lo-Mendell-Rubin test p-value | Bootstrapped Likelihood Ratio test p-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 5507.86 | .69 | .02 | .00 |
| 3 | 5450.95 | .84 | .01 | .00 |
| 4 | 5441.16 | .80 | .27 | .00 |
| 5 | 5440.72 | .81 | .55 | .01 |
| 6 | 5448.64 | .83 | .46 | .04 |
Note. BIC = Bayesian Information Criterion. Lower BIC and higher entropy values indicate better model fit. Significant results for the Lo-Mendell-Rubin and the Bootstrapped Likelihood Ratio tests indicate superior model fit compared with the model with one fewer class. Bold numbers indicate information that was especially pertinent in the final model selection (3-class solution).
