Description
Summary:The authors use the concept of such individual time trajectories as a building block for understanding analytical approaches to change, using a simple example with urban crime data to illustrate time trajectories, to differentiate between individual and group levels, and to review historical foundations for the latent curve model (LCM) approach. In sum, this volume represents a valuable resource for its intended audience of SEM practitioners, but it may also be of value to those with substantive longitudinal research interests.
