Model Fit statistics for 1- through 4-class solution
Number of classes | Log Likelihood | AIC | BIC | aBIC | VLMR-LRT |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1912.447 | 3848.893 | 3896.791 | 3858.714 | n/a |
2 | 1852.347 | 3754.695 | 3854.481 | 3775.155 | p < .0001 |
3 | 1834.958 | 3745.916 | 3897.592 | 3777.016 | p = .0592 |
4 | 1817.798 | 3737.595 | 3941.16 | 3779.334 | p = .2218 |
AIC = Akaike Information Criterion; BIC = Bayesian Information Criterion; aBIC = adjusted Bayesian Information Criterion; VLMR-LRT = Vuong-Lo-Mendell-Rubin Likelihood Ratio test. The two-class solution, shown in bold, was retained for further analysis based on these fit statistics and the substantive interpretation.
