Note. Entropy at an omnibus index of >0.8 indicates good classification. BIC = Bayesian information criterion; AIC = Alkaike information criterion; SSBIC = sample size adjusted BIC; LMR LR = Lo-Mendell-Rubin likelihood ratio test; VLMR LR = Vuong-Lo-Mendell-Rubin likelihood ratio test; LR = likelihood ratio.
