The Optimal Starting Model to Search for the Accurate Growth Trajectory in Latent Growth Models

This simulation study aims to propose an optimal starting model to search for the accurate growth trajectory in Latent Growth Models (LGM). We examine the performance of four different starting models in terms of the complexity of the mean and within-subject variance-covariance (V-CV) structures whe...
