"Annotated S A S code diagram shows Model 1 for stability and influence analysis in distinguishable dyads using a G matrix. Highlighted code sections define random intercepts, stability slopes, influence slopes, and covariance relationships between partners. Arrows and notes explain parameter grouping and covariance structure within and between persons."
