Description: Provides functions for fitting multilevel latent profile
        analysis, latent class, and latent transition models for
        continuous, categorical, and mixed-type variables. Models are
        estimated by expectation-maximization, handle missing data, and
        provide standard and robust standard errors. Model selection is
        supported by information criteria, entropy, classification
        diagnostics, and a parametric bootstrap likelihood ratio test.
        Covariates can be related to latent class membership using
        three-step methods with correction for classification error.
        Latent transition models estimate transitions between latent
        profiles across ordered occasions and are compatible with the
        'tna' package for network and sequence analysis. The multilevel
        mixture formulation follows Vermunt (2003)
