Latent Class Analysis Question

[George Higgins]

Hello All,

I have a "rookie" LCA in Stata question. I usually do this type of analysis in Mplus. I am learning this in Stata. I have performed the LCA and found a satisfactory 3-group model. Now, I need to perform some additional analyses, so I need to generate a variable that contains the class assignments. How do I do this? Once I know this, I am on my way. Thank you.

Just type:

predict classpost*, classposteriorpr

Than, create the categories according to your criteria, given the posterior probabilities.

Thank you for informing the command was helpful. In #2, I wanted to write "then", sorry for the mistype.

No worries. This worked wonderfully. Thank you
