This volume introduces LGM techniques to researchers, provides easy-to-follow, didactic examples of several common growth modeling approaches, and highlights recent advancements regarding the treatment of missing data, parameter estimation, and model fit. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book covers the basic linear LGM, and builds from there to describe more complex functional forms (e.g., polynomial latent curves), multivariate latent growth curves used to model simultaneous change in multiple variables, the inclusion of time-varying covariates, predictors of aspects of change, cohort-sequential designs, and multiple-group models. The authors also highlight approaches to dealing with missing data, different estimation methods, and incorporate discussion of model evaluation and comparison within the context of LGM. The models demonstrate how they may be applied to longitudinal data derived from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (SECCYD).. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Provides easy-to-follow, didactic examples of several common growth modeling approaches \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Highlights recent advancements regarding the treatment of missing data, parameter estimation, and model fit \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Explains the commonalities and differences between latent growth model and multilevel modeling of repeated measures data \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Covers the basic linear latent growth model, and builds from there to describe more complex functional forms such as polynomial latent curves, multivariate latent growth curves, time-varying covariates, predictors of aspects of change, cohort-sequential designs, and multiple-group models\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLearn more about \"The Little Green Book\" - QASS Series! \u003c\/b\u003eClick Here\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 8.3 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 27, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42718188208191,"sku":"9781412939553","price":99.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/c349034da2189e43ec1fb4395ce2feef.webp?v=1765081041","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/latent-growth-curve-modeling-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
