The comparison of idiographic network structures to determine the presence of heterogeneity is a challenging endeavor in many applied settings. Previously, researchers eyeballed idiographic networks, computed correlations, and used techniques that make use of the multilevel structure of the data (e.g., group iterative multiple model estimation and multilevel vector autoregressive) to investigate individual differences. However, these methods do not allow for testing the (in)equality of idiographic network structures directly...
