Table 3.
Fit indices of the Latent Class Analysis (LCA). Values in bold show the best model fit
| Amount of classes | BIC | Entropy |
|---|---|---|
| 2 classes | 10,063,02 | 0.962 |
| 3 classes | 9840,87 | 0.920 |
| 4 classes | 9769,15 | 0.907 |
| 5 classes | 9785,04 | 0.902 |
| 6 classes | 9789,87 | 0.879 |
The four classes show the best fit, since in this model the BIC is the lowest and the Entropy is high
