I was wondering if you are aware of any way to estimate a LCA model with less than 4 binary indicators(responses). Also, if you can point me to some reference paper that would be great. Ideally, I would like to be able to fit LCA with just one binary indicator, as I am working in a causal inference context where there is usually a single response; I know the identifiability conditions are not met in this case, but wondering if there is any way to go around that. |

See Slide 72 of the Topic 5 course handout. It shows that to identify two classes you need a minimum of three categorical latent class indicators. |

If you have covariates you can identify latent classes with at least the logit intercept varying. Topic 5 shows an example of that called "Trypanosomes" with a reference. It is harder to identify a class-varying slope. In the case of a randomized study, there is a large literature on CACE mixture modeling with classes of shows and no-shows representing compliance classes. There are CACE examples in the UG. |
