q2 i? Unmeasured time-invariant covariates affect RI-CLPM trait factors but not the within-person autoregressive factors used to test directional ordering, giving RI-CLPMs an interpretational advantage over CLPMs. → Herbert W. Marsh 2022

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Methodological exposition (type d/e) in the section on the role of covariates, explaining the RI-CLPM's statistical independence of random intercepts and within-person components. The article notes "both models provide limited protection concerning unmeasured time-varying covariates."

"Thus, unmeasured (undecomposed between-person) time-invariant covariates might affect the sizes of the (decomposed between-person) global trait factors. However, they do not affect the within-person autoregressive factors used to test directional ordering"
