Analyzing Developmental Processes on an Individual Level Using Nonstationary Time Series Modeling
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Molenaar, Peter C. M.; Sinclair, Katerina O.; Rovine, Michael J.; Ram, Nilam; Corneal, Sherry E. – Developmental Psychology, 2009
Individuals change over time, often in complex ways.

The authors explain how to identify appropriate levels of analysis (individual vs. group) and demonstrate how to estimate changes in…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Green, James A. – Developmental Psychology, 1992
Reviews methods for testing whether two or more correlation matrices differ from each other. Illustrates methods for evaluating the similarities of two independent correlation matrices, such as those obtained from boys and girls, and two dependent correlation matrices, such as those obtained in longitudinal research that uses multiple measures.…
