   • A focus on averaged risk effects, estimated across people, may occlude idiographic within-person processes which could aid in the precise detection of individual-level correlates of suicide. The present study focuses on new statistical models applied to intensive longitudinal data to quantify heterogeneity in within-person processes. Nomothetic approaches, such as multi-level models, are the most conventional method for identifying group-level suicide risk factors. These methods assume that effects apply equally across all individuals. 2024 June 5, Kevin S. Kuehn, Marilyn L. Piccirillo, Adam M. Kuczynski, Kevin M. King, Colin A. Depp, Katherine T.
