Introduction

Dynamic SEM (DSEM)

In these exercises we focus on analyzing intensive longitudinal data (ILD) obtained with experience sampling (also referred to as ecological momentary assessments).

We will use data from Bringmann et al. (2013), stored in file Bringmann1.dat. It contains data from 129 persons, with each between 20 to 60 repeated measurements per variable. Throughout these exercises we will focus on two variables: Somber (to what degree are you feeling somber right now?), and Event (report on the most important event since the previous beep and indicate how unpleasant-pleasant is was).
