Description: Fits single-level and multilevel latent profile and class models,
    latent transition models, and mixture regression and growth models for
    studying unobserved heterogeneity. Supported measurement models accommodate
    continuous, categorical, ordinal, count and mixed indicators. Provides
    model comparison, parameter inference, classification diagnostics and
    graphical summaries, with additional methods for membership covariates,
    staged estimation and analyses of external variables that account for
    classification error. Observed-data likelihood methods are available for
    incomplete indicators, and supported transition models can be represented
    as networks using the 'tna' package. The multilevel latent class
    formulation follows Vermunt
