Defines functions apollo_lcConditionals

Documented in apollo_lcConditionals

#' Calculates conditionals for latent class models.
#' 
#' Calculates posterior expected values (conditionals) of class allocation probabilities for each individual.
#' 
#' This function can only be used with latent class models without continuous heterogeneity.
#' @param model Model object. Estimated model object as returned by function \link{apollo_estimate}.
#' @param apollo_probabilities Function. Returns probabilities of the model to be estimated. Must receive three arguments:
#'                          \itemize{
#'                            \item \strong{\code{apollo_beta}}: Named numeric vector. Names and values of model parameters.
#'                            \item \strong{\code{apollo_inputs}}: List containing options of the model. See \link{apollo_validateInputs}.
#'                            \item \strong{\code{functionality}}: Character. Can be either \strong{\code{"components"}}, \strong{\code{"conditionals"}}, \strong{\code{"estimate"}} (default), \strong{\code{"gradient"}}, \strong{\code{"output"}}, \strong{\code{"prediction"}}, \strong{\code{"preprocess"}}, \strong{\code{"raw"}}, \strong{\code{"report"}}, \strong{\code{"shares_LL"}}, \strong{\code{"validate"}} or \strong{\code{"zero_LL"}}.
#'                          }
#' @param apollo_inputs List grouping most common inputs. Created by function \link{apollo_validateInputs}.
#' @return A matrix with the posterior class allocation probabilities for each individual.
#' @export
