calcNumEff(outList, thin = 1, printXi = TRUE, printE = TRUE, 
           printBeta = TRUE, 
           grLabels = paste("Group", 1:outList$Prior$H))

`outList`	specifies a list containing the outcome (return value) of an MCMC run of `mcClust`, `dmClust`, `mcClustExtended`, `dmClustExtended` or `MNLAuxMix`.
`thin`	An integer specifying the thinning parameter (default is 1).
`printXi`	If `TRUE` (default) a LaTeX-style table containing the inefficiency factors of the cluster-specific transition matrices is generated and also printed.
`printE`	If `TRUE` (default) a LaTeX-style table containing the inefficiency factors of the cluster-specific parameter matrices is generated and also printed.
`printBeta`	If `TRUE` (default) a LaTeX-style table containing the inefficiency factors of the MNL regression coefficients is generated and also printed.
`grLabels`	A character vector giving user-specified names for the clusters/groups.

A list containing tables of inefficiency factors:

`numEffXi[h]m`	Inefficiency factors of the MCMC draws obtained for each row j=1,...,K+1 of the cluster-specific transition matrices ξ_{h,j.} for each cluster/group.
`numEffEhm`	Inefficiency factors of the MCMC draws obtained for each row j=1,…,K+1 of the cluster-specific parameter matrices (only for DMC[Ext]) e_{h,j.} for each cluster/group.
`numEffBeta`	Inefficiency factors of the MCMC draws obtained for the MNL regression coefficients for each cluster.

Note, that in contrast to the literature (see References), the numbering (labelling) of the states of the categorical outcome variable (time series) in this package is sometimes 0,...,K (instead of 1,...,K), however, there are K+1 categories (states)!
