Latent Curve Models: A Structural Equation Perspective (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics)

This volume represents a comprehensive treatment of a model sometimes referred to as latent curve or growth curve models. Latent Curve Models analyzes LTMs from the perspective of structural equation modeling (SEM) with latent variables. Although the authors discuss simple regression-based procedures that are helpful in the early stages of LTM, most of the presentation will use SEMs as a driving tool throughout the text.
