Chou, Chih-Ping; Bentler, Peter M.; Pentz, Mary Ann
Structural Equation Modeling, v5 n3 p247-66 1998
Compares two statistical approaches to modeling growth across time: the multilevel model and latent curve analysis. A longitudinal data set from a school-based substance-use-prevention model for adolescents (2,779 students) illustrates differences and similarities between the approaches and shows very compatible results for both.
