* Add a Quadratic Factor  Add a second (quadratic) slope factor (0, 1, 4, 9 …) Correlate with the other slope and intercept factor. Adds parameters 1 mean 1 variance 2 covariances (with intercept and the other slope) No real better fit for the Distress Example c2(6) = 98.59; RMSEA = .199 * Modeling Seasonal Effects Note the alternating positive and negative coefficients for the slope * Results c2(6) = 65.41, p .001 RMSEA = .120 No evidence of Slope Variance (actually estimated as negative!) Conclusion: Fit better, but still poor. * Empirically Estimated Scaling of Time Allows for an
