Dear Stata users,
I am running a latent class analysis with gsem command. I had some problems on convergence reported in a previous post, but I've solved them.
Now my problem is the following: my model has 6 classes, 11 variables and 6 covariates of the membership functions. Everything works fine, the model converge quite quickly. The only problem is that only for one class and only for one variable (a very important dummy variable equal to 1 if the person is retired) of the membership function, I have no value of the standard error. The value is -702,55 so very high in absolute terms. I suppose this means that for this item the probability is very close to 0.
In this situation, are the values of all the other parameters reliable or not? I mean, can I still use my results?
Thank you
