Minimum number of samples for class #252

Closed zandarina1 closed 4 months ago

Hello

I was wondering if there is any possibility to add a minimum number of samples per cluster in lcmm. As when I increase the number of clusters or it disappears one cluster or there are very few cases in some of the clusters.

Thank you

Hi,

we don't include such constraints in the estimation, sorry. It is true that very small classes are sometimes not relevant, but this is something that can on be checked after the estimation.
