Dear R-Listers, I have several ratio (percentages) and binary indicators, and I'd like to use these indicators to recover several latent classes based on these percentage (expenses over GDP) and binary measures. Any type of statistical analysis is suited for such data and is there a R-package available for the analysis. If I just have binary measures, then a simple latent class analysis should suffice, but I have a mixture of continuous, ratio, and binary measures, any input? Thanks.
