mixture models are evaluated. Two Monte Carlo simulation studies were conducted to
compare the pseudo class (PC), Vermunt's (2010), and the Lanza, Tan, and Bray (LTB) 3-
step approaches with respect to bias of parameter estimates in latent class analysis (LCA)
and latent profile analysis (LPA) models with auxiliary variables. For coefficients of
predictors of class membership, results indicated that Vermunt's method yielded more …
