I am trying to perform a latent class analysis and I am very new to this method, so I hope you will understand if my question is a bit naïve.
I would like to perform the analysis using nine categorical variables (each with five categories) and obtain three classes. Here is the code I am using:
Code:
gsem (e4_1b e4_2b e4_3b e4_4b e4_5b e4_6b e4_7b e4_8b e4_9b <-, ologit), lclass(C 3)
Code:
Class : 2
Response : e4_1b
Family : ordinal
Link : logit
Response : e4_2b
Family : ordinal
Link : logit
Response : e4_3b
Family : ordinal
Link : logit
Response : e4_4b
Family : ordinal
Link : logit
Response : e4_5b
Family : ordinal
Link : logit
Response : e4_6b
Family : ordinal
Link : logit
Response : e4_7b
Family : ordinal
Link : logit
Response : e4_8b
Family : ordinal
Link : logit
Response : e4_9b
Family : ordinal
Link : logit
