Previous research using latent growth curve models has been within the framework of random effects. Using longitudinal data on men’s BMI taken from the National Longitudinal Study of 1979, I show that traditional latent growth curve models estimated in a random-effects framework can be extended to a fixed-effects framework. I also show that latent growth curve models can be estimated when time-constant covariates are modeled on the inter-subject level. Finally, using data taken from the Early Years of Marriage Project, I demonstrate that latent growth curve models can be used for analyzing paired data. Specifically, the latent intercept and slope terms of husbands and wives can be allowed to co-vary. (Chapter 1)
