vera-data-growth-pipelining

name	vera-data-growth-pipelining
description	Complete skill family for longitudinal SEM focused on latent growth and change. Use when the user asks for latent growth models, latent change score models, nonlinear change, repeated latent trajectories, or longitudinal SEM in general. Uses a two-step structure: testing for initial diagnostics, analyzing for full pipeline.

SEM Longitudinal Change — Skill Family

Open-source skill.

This domain contains:

• vera-data-growth-reviewing for setup checks and an initial latent growth or change model
• vera-data-growth-generating for nonlinear trajectories, multigroup comparisons, parallel-process extensions, and manuscript output

Primary engines: lavaan for linear/latent growth basics, nlpsem when nonlinear longitudinal SEM is required.
