Report on Multilevel and Longitudinal Psychometric Models: Latent Variable Models for Analysis of Growth
Aug 1992
Bengt O. Muthén and Ginger Nelson
This report shows that hierarchical linear models can be estimated using widely available structural modeling software. The results provide a flexible framework for mathematical model explorations, including the use of latent variables purged of the influence of measurement error.
