(A) Users input the data set and settings into a table provided on the webpage, (B) The central web server invisibly transforms the data set and settings inputted into multiple text files suitable for the statistical software, and automatically runs the Bayesian latent class models (LCM) using the R and WinBUGS programs. (C) The results estimated by Bayesian LCM are provided on the webpage within few minutes.
