Hello

Is it possible to specify a zero class in a two-part GMM, such that individuals that respond with zero throughout all time points are assigned to this class ? If so, what is the syntax to do this ?

If there is a zero class, this will be found as part of the analysis. See the following papers which are available on the website:

Hi Linda, OK thanks. That is actually what I was hoping, but how can I see which individuals are probabilistically assigned to each class, since the "results in probability scale" are not produced with these models..

See the CPROBABILITIES option of the OUTPUT command.
