Hello Dr. Muthen,

Say we had y1-y4:

Autoregressive models would regress y2 on y1, y3 on y2, and y4 on y3.

Autocorrelated disturbances would have the residual variances of y1-y4 be related to each other (given a latent growth model framework, where an intercept and slope is estimated from y1-y4 scores).

Substantively, how are they different?

thanks

The former model regresses all of y on earlier y's, the latter model regresses only the residual part of y on earlier residual parts.
