Dear R users, I want to apply latent class models (mixture models) with covariates in the case of continuous and categorical variables. My questions are the follow: a) the only package in R that can handle mixture models with data of mixed type is moc (which unfortunately was left orphaned recently); do you know of any other? b) I really need to incorporate covariates in my model; in the moc manual, the author mentions it can handle covariates, but I am straggling with the instructions. More precisely, I have: b.1) continuous covariates b.2) categorical (ordinal 2- and 3-level) variables b.3) continuous variables and would like to consider the covariates conditional effect on the probability of each latent class and on the joint distribution of the (mixed type) variables within each class.
Has anyone ever tried to do a similar thing? If so, can I please borrow your correspondent piece of code? Thank you so much in advance.
