Goodness-of-Fit Testing for Latent Class Models.

Collins, Linda M.; And Others

Multivariate Behavioral Research, v28 n3 p375-89 1993

To assess problems in hypothesis testing and model comparisons based on normed indices caused by latent class models with sparse contingency tables, a simulation was carried out investigating the distributions of the likelihood ratio statistic, the Pearson statistic chi-square, and a new goodness of fit statistic.
