Sure, sorry for not clarifying from the beginning. 

LEM is a rather powerful software for conducting general loglinear analysis, including latent class, logit, latent Markov, Event History models, etc. It's very polyvalent. 

Link to the software and document is at http://www.tilburguniversity.edu/nl/over-tilburg-university/schools/socialsciences/organisatie/departementen/mto/software2.html. 

Since I use R for other types of analyses, it would be good to have the equivalent in R without having to go back and forth between LEM and R. The packages that do LCA in R miss several important features (L-square statistic, Entropy, Cressie-Read, residuals, etc.). 

Thanks,

David Joubert
