Longitudinal K-sets analysis using lagged variables.
We present an application of nonlinear Generalised Canonical Analysis (GCA) for analysing longitudinal data.

The usefulness of the proposed method is illustrated in an example from developmental psychology, in which we explore the relationship between mother and child dyadic interaction during the first six months after birth, demonstrating how child behaviour can elicit mother behaviour.
