How to Perform Three-Step Latent Class Analysis in the Presence of Measurement Non-Invariance or Differential Item Functioning

The practice of latent class (LC) modeling using a bias-adjusted three-step approach has become widely popular. However, the current three-step approach has one important drawback – its key assumpt...
