Note. The observed variables were included in the model in chronological order while latent variables were included in the order of intercept (ψ̂11), change 1 (ψ̂22), and change 2 (ψ̂33) in LCMs (see also Appendix). Of the ψ̂22, ψ̂33, θ̂ε11, and θ̂ε22 in the top covariance matrix, Figure 4a parameterizes θ̂ε11 and θ̂ε22 to be zero while Figure 4b parameterizes ψ̂22 and ψ̂33 to be zero.
