In jrosen48/tidyLPA: Easily Carry Out Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) Using Open-Source or Commercial Software

Lo-Mendell-Rubin likelihood ratio test

Description

Implements the ad-hoc adjusted likelihood ratio test (LRT) described in Formula 15 of Lo, Mendell, & Rubin (2001), or LMR LRT.

Usage

calc_lrt(n, null_ll, null_param, null_classes, alt_ll, alt_param, alt_classes)

Arguments

n	Integer. Sample size
null_ll	Numeric. Log-likelihood of the null model.
null_param	Integer. Number of parameters of the null model.
null_classes	Integer. Number of classes of the null model.
alt_ll	Numeric. Log-likelihood of the alternative model.
alt_param	Integer. Number of parameters of the alternative model.
alt_classes	Integer. Number of classes of the alternative model.

Value

A numeric vector containing the likelihood ratio LR, the ad-hoc corrected LMR, degrees of freedom, and the LMR p-value.
