Dear All,
Would appreciate some feedback regarding the output of a latent class model obtained using the 'randomLCA' package.
For background, I have six categorical variables: 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D' , 'E', 'F'. Each categorical variable takes a value 0-5 (it's a rating score for health states).
To ensure that my data is suitable for randomLCA, I dichotomised the data: 0 = {0,1,2}, 1 = {3,4,5}. However, this is where my confusion arrives regarding the output.
From the table below: is there a 98.6% probability that A is zero or one in class 1 etc?
A B C D E F
Class 1 0.9859 0.9935 0.9905 0.9982 0.7736 0.6984
Class 2 0.1497 0.9891 0.2405 0.9072 0.7459 0.4284
Class 3 0.5863 0.4976 0.7716 0.9532 0.5949 0.6716
Class 4 0.0081 0.0731 0.0000 0.1576 0.2067 0.2492
