Group Average Posterior Probability | Odds Ratio for Correct Classification | Estimated Group Distribution Based on Using Maximal Probability Rule | Estimated Group Distribution Based on Initial Model | Entropy | |
Livelihood and mobility | 0.983 | 128 | 0.311 | 0.306 | 0.858 |
Clinic accessibility | 0.940 | 48 | 0.247 | 0.289 | |
Mobility and family | 0.811 | 12 | 0.270 | 0.219 | |
Doubting need for HIV care | 0.899 | 80 | 0.100 | 0.102 | |
Multidimensional barriers to care | 0.951 | 252 | 0.072 | 0.083 |
Good model fit indicated by 1) average posterior probability greater than 0.7 for each group, 2) odds ratio of correct classification greater than 5 for each group; 3) close correspondence between the estimated group distribution based on using posterior probabilities and the maximal probability rule compared with the estimated group distribution from the initial model; and 4) an entropy greater than 0.8.
