Table 2 Estimated class proportions (top row), and class-specific average treatment effects (second and third rows), for the latent classes in the lindner data. The class-specific confidence intervals (CIs) were based on estimated class memberships that were either held fixed (second row), or based on perturbed probabilities that accounted for the uncertainty in the estimates (third row). The classes were listed in increasing order of the lower endpoints of the CIs based on the estimated memberships. All results were rounded to two decimal places
