Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
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.
q3 i? LPA on TOCA-C subscales revealed four latent classes: high-risk (6.6%), at-risk (23.3%), normative (36.5%), and socially-emotionally skilled (33.6%). → Bradshaw 2015

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Latent profile analysis of baseline Teacher Observation of Classroom Adaptation-Checklist ratings for 12,344 children in the 37-school RCT. The four-class solution was the best fitting model; "LPA revealed 4 latent classes" with the printed proportions. Entropy was 0.85 and adding a fifth class did not significantly improve fit.
"LPA revealed 4 latent classes: high-risk (6.6%), at-risk (23.3%), normative (36.5%), and socially-emotionally skilled (33.6%)."
