Abstract: The necessity of using subject-specific data analysis of non-ergodic psychological processes is explained, emphasizing the difference between inter-individual and intra-individual variation.It is argued that subject-specific data analysis not only matches the principles underlying Developmental Systems Theory, but also enables testing of all principles of person-oriented theory.A new generalized perspective on measurement equivalence in subject-specific data analysis is introduced.The importance of computational optimal control of psychological processes within the context of subject-specific data analysis is emphasized.In closing, some broader aims of subject-specific data analysis are considered.
