Hello.
I am running LPA analysis using gsem command. I ve run the analysis in R using the mclust command too. The problem I have is that I dont get similar results. For example, for my best model in R (based on BIC etc), I am getting a 3 class what is called VVI model (that is varying volume and shape and identity for the orientation). In stata, I am trying to put the same constrains (that is, I want all parameters to vary freely) and I am not sure I am getting. I ve tried lcinvariant (none) and covstruct(e._LEn, diagonal) and I get similar but not the same results
anyone familiar with this?
thank you a lot
