An alternative latent growth curve model for the analysis of longitudinal data with time-dependent observations: A simulation study

Typical latent growth curve analysis in structural equation modeling (SEM) assumes each individual has the same measurement schedule and is measured by equal number of times. This study proposes an alternative SEM model for growth curve analysis, which takes time-dependence of data into account. Simulation study results will be presented.
