    • Existing methods may not adequately capture multivariate change dynamics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present novel procedures for modeling change in multivariate situations.
    • To introduce Markov Network Analysis for longitudinal and serial data.
    • To provide statistical procedures for dynamic interpretation of model parameters.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of Markov Network Analysis for multivariate change.
    • Application to longitudinal or serial data for dynamic parameter interpretation.
    • Maximum likelihood estimation procedures for statistical modeling.
