SOME REMARKS ABOUT A SIMULATION STUDY FOR A LATENT CLASS MODEL UNDER SPARSENESS

A theoretical study is accomplished in this paper in order to explain some simulation results exposed in the paper “Sobre la estimación de los parámetros del modelo de clases latentes en condiciones de raleza” (About the parameter estimation of the latent class model under sparseness ) (González, Sánchez & Hernández, 2002). The main tool is the application of results concerning asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimators
