Growth modeling in avian species has emerged as a critical research area, integrating mathematical functions to characterise and predict the complex growth trajectories of birds from hatching to ...

This 26 minute talk describes genetically-informative latent growth curve modeling, including how age-at-participation, rather than wave-of-assessment is used to model development instead of the ...

introduction to basic concepts, principles, and applications of structural equation modeling including path analysis, confirmatory latent variable models, multiple-group modeling, and latent growth ...

The authors compared the effects of using the true Multilevel Latent Growth Curve Model (MLGCM) with single-level regular and design-based Latent Growth Curve Models (LGCM) with or without the ...

An extension of the growth curve model of Potthoff & Roy (1964) is presented. The extension arises naturally when parallel profiles are required, or profiles are concurrent at some known time point ...
