#intra-individual association between variables and will be the same across different patterns 
#of inter-individual variability. (A) rrm = −1: depicts notional data with a perfect negative 
#intra-individual association between variables, (B) rrm = 0: depicts data with no 
#intra-individual association, and (C) rrm = 1: depicts data with a perfect positive 
#intra-individual association. In each column, the relationship between subjects 
#(inter-individual variability) is different, which does not change the rmcorr-values within a 
#column. However, this does change the association that would be predicted by OLS regression

#Figure 5. Comparison of rmcorr and simple regression/correlation results for age and brain structure volume data. 
#Each dot represents one of two separate observations of age and CBH for a participant. (A) #Separate simple 
#regressions/correlations by time: each observation is treated as independent, represented by shading all the data 
#points black. The red line is the fit of the simple regression/correlation. (B) Rmcorr: observations from the same 
#participant are given the same color, with corresponding lines to show the rmcorr fit for each participant. (C) 
#Simple regression/correlation: averaged by participant. Note that the effect size is greater (stronger negative 
#relationship) using rmcorr (B) than with either use of simple regression models (A) and (C). This figure was 
#created using data from Raz et al. (2005).
