The Impact of Ignoring a Level of Nesting Structure in Multilevel Growth Mixture Models: A Monte Carlo Study (2010, methodology): “Third, the mixing proportions of latent classes have a substantial impact on class enumeration (Enders & Tofighi, 2008; Henson et al., 2007; Tofighi & Enders, 2008).”
How Well Does Growth Mixture Modeling Identify Heterogeneous Growth Trajectories? A Simulation Study Examining GMM's Performance Characteristics (2012, methodology): “The purpose of this study was to expand on previous research studies that have examined the performance of enumeration indexes in GMM analyses (Bauer & Curran, 2003a; Enders & Tofighi, 2008; Nylund et al., 2007; Tofighi & Enders, 2008).”
The Efficacy of Common Fit Indices for Enumerating Classes in Growth Mixture Models When Nested Data Structure Is Ignored (2017, methodology): “…found no significant effect of the number of repeated measures on model estimation, and (b) four waves of repeated measures were most commonly used in both simulation studies (Enders & Tofighi, 2008; Nylund et al., 2007; Tofighi & Enders, 2008) and empirical studies (Khoo, West, Wu, & Kwok, 2006).”
Impact of Misspecifications of the Latent Variance–Covariance and Residual Matrices on the Class Enumeration Accuracy of Growth Mixture Models (2016, methodology): “These values are similar to those used by Enders and Tofighi (2008) and Tofighi and Enders (2007).”
General Growth Mixture Analysis of Adolescents' Developmental Trajectories of Anxiety: The Impact of Untested Invariance Assumptions on Substantive Interpretations (2011, methodology): “Models in which all parameters ( ’yk , “1yk, “2yk, ˆyk , and ©yitk ) were freely estimated in all classes were also specified (Enders & Tofighi, 2008).”
