the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Latent profile analysis (Mplus 8.3) of survey data from 416 tertiary EFL students in Southwest China; the four-profile solution had the highest entropy (0.929) and significant LMR p-values. The article reports the printed membership distribution: "331 learners to the AAGs profile, accounting for 79.57%".
"forty-one learners were assigned to the LAGs profile, accounting for 9.86%; twenty learners to the MH profile, accounting for 4.81%; 331 learners to the AAGs profile, accounting for 79.57%; and twenty-four learners to the HAGs profile, accounting for 5.77%."
