From RI-Clpm to Panelvar: Evaluating Stationarity In Network Modeling of Panel Data

The panelVAR model is a stationary-constrained random-intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) often used in network psychometrics. Practical guidelines for evaluating stationarity assumptions remain scarce. This poster introduces a sequence of tests for assessing stationarity to choose between panelVAR and RI-CLPM. Methods are implemented in the free SEM software psychonetrics.
