calc_lrt {tidyLPA}

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.
