Hi

I was wondering whether anyone can provide any help or suggestions on the
boostrap method for latent class analysis please.

My main question is: can the bootstrap procedure sometimes be less precise
than the non-bootstrap procedure when carrying out latent class analysis?

I am asking this question because I carried out some analyses and when I *did
not* use the bootstrap procedure I found adequate fit for one of the
models but when I did use the bootstrap none of the models indicated
adequate fit to the data. I know that usually the bootstrap is used with
sparse data, however, I'm not sure whether I should use it or not in my
case.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback!!

Thanks!!
