Symptom patterns and health service use of women in early adulthood: a latent class analysis from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health

Table 2 Average posterior probabilities of class membership—four-class model

Latent class	1	2	3	4
1. Minimal Symptoms	0.905	0.038	0.056	0.000
2. Menstrual Symptoms	0.053	0.842	0.059	0.046
3. Mood Symptoms	0.067	0.056	0.840	0.038
4. Many Symptoms	0.000	0.065	0.044	0.891

Diagonal values are the average posterior probability of a women being assigned to a class in the four-class model given her specific symptom pattern. Off-diagonal values are the average posterior probability of being assigned to another class in the four-class model. Average posterior probabilities > 0.7 on the diagonal indicate a well-separated latent class model
