- N = 1137. Individuals were assigned to the latent class for which the posterior probability of class membership was highest. Table 6 compares the ratio of the modal predicted (probabilistic) allocation with the modal allocation. High values on the leading diagonal are indicative of good model separation and reflect the quality of the empirical classification. The assignment probabilities for the low adversity group and the atypical parenting group were high; the moderate adversity class was less well discriminated (0.81, 0.81, 0.79). This pattern indicates that those allocated to moderate class also had non-zero probabilities for membership in the low class. Similarly, those allocated to the severe adversity group had non-zero probabilities for membership of the moderate adversity class.
