I did an Latent class analysis in XLStat on a data set of 1257 participants where they were asked how much time they spend on entertainment content in the news, radio, PC and TV where they could answer from 1) 0-30 min ,2) 30 mins-2 hours, 3) 2 hours+.In the options tab under the "observations/variables table" I inserted the chosen data and defined the amount of clusters ranging from 1 to 6. The problem is that in every cluster model there is an added 4'th answer where the value is almost always 0 except in the last cluster of a specific model where the value is always close to 100%. What is this 4'th option, why does it appear and how can i get rid of it. Here are 2 examples of what i mean on a 6 and 4 cluster model.
