LL Log-likelihood, BIC Bayesian Information Criterion, SSA-BIC Sample Size Adjusted Bayesian Information Criterion, LMR p-value for Adjusted Lo-Mendell-Rubin likelihood ratio test, BLRT p-value for bootstrap likelihood ratio test

nC < 10/5% = number of profiles with less than 10 and 5% of the cases respectively
