Hi,
In running a latent class analysis. Do I first check for significant
categorical predictors and only use those in the latent class model?
For example, if I have a dependent variable that is binary and I have 30
categorical independent variables, should I run a logistic regression first
to find those variables that are significant predictors of the binary
dependent variable. Then use all those plus the significant independent
variables in the latent class analysis?

Jim.
