Metrics of Adequacy and Fit of Latent Class Model
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.
