AN ALTERNATIVE TO CLASSICAL LATENT CLASS MODELS SELECTION METHODS FOR SPARSE BINARY DATA: AN ILLUSTRATION WITH SIMULATED DATA

Within the context of a latent class model with manifest binary variables, we propose an alternative method that solves the problem of estimating empirical distribution with sparse contingency tables and the chi-square approximation for goodness-of-fit will not be valid. We analyze sparse binary dat...
