CAIC: Consistent Akaike’s Information Criteria, BIC: Bayesian Information Criteria, LRT: Likelihood ratio test, VLMR: Vuong-Lo-Mendel-Rubin.
BIC and CAIC: lowest value indicates best fitting model.
VLMR-LRT: significant p-value indicates significant improvement in fit (k vs. k-1).
measure of class differentiation ranges from no differentiation (0) to perfect differentiation (1).
