Serang, Sarfaraz – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
Longitudinal research is often interested in identifying correlates of heterogeneity in change. This paper compares three approaches for doing so: the mixed-effects model (latent growth curve model), the growth mixture model, and structural equation model trees. Each method is described, with special focus given to how each structures…

Dolan, Conor V.; Schmittmann, Verena D.; Lubke, Gitta H.; Neale, Michael C. – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2005
A linear latent growth curve mixture model is presented which includes switching between growth curves. Switching is accommodated by means of a Markov transition model. The model is formulated with switching as a highly constrained multivariate mixture model and is fitted using the freely available Mx program. The model is illustrated by analyzing…
