Latent Growth Curve Models

On Latent Growth Models for Composites and Their Constituents.

Over the last decade and a half, latent growth modeling has become an extremely popular and versatile technique for evaluating longitudinal change and its determinants. Most common among the models applied are those for a single measured variable over time. This model has been extended in a variety of ways, most relevant for the current work being the multidomain and the second-order latent gro...

A Vernacular for Linear Latent Growth Models

In its most basic form, latent growth modeling (latent curve analysis) allows an assessment of individuals’change in a measured variable X over time. For simple linear models, as with other growth models, parameter estimates associated with the α construct (amount of X at a chosen temporal reference point) and β construct (growth in X per unit time) are not invariant with respect to choice of r...
