ABSTRACT

Chapter 4: Fitting Models Involving Repeated Measures, Multiple Groups, or Means In this chapter we continue our survey of a variety of applications of path and structural models. The models considered introduce some additional features over those discussed in Chapter 3. We begin by considering several models dealing with the covariances among measures that are repeated over time. Then we look at models fitted simultaneously in two or more groups. Next, we consider models that compare means as well as covariances, either for different groups or over time. Last, we examine an important category of models that requires the use of means-models with categorical indicators.
