Is it possible to test a LCGA model or GMM with a time-varying covariate?

Thanks.

Yes. You can see how to specify this in Example 6.12.

Okay. I did use example 6.12 to set up the analysis, but I got an error message that I need to specify type=random if I want to include random effects for the time-varying covariate. I had it specified as type=mixture. If I change it to type=random, then I get an error message that I have to use type=mixture if I want to specify a latent class variable. Any suggestions for what I can do differently?

Thanks.

How about TYPE= MIXTURE RANDOM?

I tried that and got the following error:

*** INTERNAL ERROR
Internal Error Code: MDP1044
An internal error has occurred. Please contact us about the error,
providing both the input and data files if possible.

I assumed that I was asking for something just wasn't possible. Should I send you the files associated with that error?
