Peer reviewedRogosa, David; Willett, John B. – Journal of Educational Statistics, 1985
A five by five covariance matrix representing longitudinal measurements at five occasions is used to illustrate that markedly different types of learning curves may generate indistinguishable covariance structures. An excellent fit of a simplex structure can be misleading. Common uses of covariance structure models for growth studies are…
