Model Selection Criteria for Latent Class Analysis of Psychosocial Resources Among African American Men, Nashville Stress and Health Study (2011–2014; N = 283).
| Selection criteria | Two latent classes | Three latent classes | Four latent classes | Five latent classes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bayesian information criterion (BIC) | 444.5 | 442.07 | 443.62 | 478.96 |
| Akaike information criterion (AIC) | 382.52 | 347.28 | 316.03 | 318.56 |
| Likelihood ratio (LR) | −1,418.69 | −1,392.1 | −1,367.44 | −1,359.71 |
| G 2 | 348.52 | 295.28 | 246.03 | 230.56 |
| Entropy | 64.88 | 121.87 | 130.77 | 121.81 |
Note. Based on these selection criteria, a four-class latent model was selected. BIC = Bayesian information criterion; AIC = Akaike information criterion; LR = likelihood ratio.
