Divisive Latent Class Analysis R package DLCA version 1.0 Provides algorithms for estimating divisive and standard latent class models. The divisive latent class method follows van der Palm, van der Ark and Vermunt (2016) <doi:10.1007/s00357-016-9195-5>. Both algorithms use expectation-maximization and Newton-Raphson optimization and are implemented in 'C++' for speed through 'Rcpp'.
