We are pleased to announce the release of the latest version of the %LCA_Distal SAS macro. Latent class analysis allows researchers to divide subjects into underlying subgroups that cannot be directly observed. The %LCA_Distal SAS macro was created to allow researchers to estimate the impact of membership in a latent class on an outcome at a later time. The newly released version 3.0 of the macro allows users to generate standard errors for the binary case and provides more information in the onscreen results for all cases. PROC LCA version 1.3.2 or higher must be used in order to generate standard errors.
