In this video, I demonstrate how to determine the optimal number of classes in a latent class model. We’ll explore key model evaluation tools, including information criteria, goodness-of-fit tests, bivariate residuals, and likelihood-ratio tests.
These concepts are illustrated using LatentGOLD 6.0.
As of January 2025, LatentGOLD version 6.1 is available. Licenses can be ordered at www.statisticalinnovations.com, with free licenses available for academic use.
