EM algorithms used in latent class including model combination
Posted: 05 Apr 2024, 16:24
Hi,
I tried to use EM algorithm to estimated a latent class model, and in a class of my model, I set a joint estimation by aplollo_combineModels function. but when I start to estimate it, "This function is only suitable for single component models, i.e. no use of apollo_combineModels or manual multiplication of model components." shows in console part. therefore, I want to know why EM algorithm can not use in the situation, theory limitation? or the update of apollo in the future.
Best,
Qiang
