Hello,
I ran a conditional LGCM that included several covariates. I would like to add another covariate that is essentially a trajectory. Am I able to do this? I am interested in whether parent-reported symptoms of separation anxiety at ages X-Y predict later trajectories of anxiety, and how well they do so (over and above the covariates already in the model). If there is any sample syntax out there, it would be most helpful. I haven't been real successful on my own 
Thank you,
Cindy |

So a growth curve predicting another growth curve? Just define the two growth curves like
i1 s1 | y....
i2 s2 | z....
and regress i2, s2 on i1, s1 and covariates.
Data are in wide form: y..., z..., covariates
