Latent Growth Models (LGM)

The project

This project contains latent growth model (LGM) examples in SmartPLS. Our model examples use datasets that can be read into CB-SEM projects in SmartPLS, which also support analyzing LGMs, as raw data, but also as covariance or correlation matrices. These examples demonstrate that the CB-SEM implementation in SmartPLS provides the same results as presented in published examples for a LFM.
