Separating Long-Term Equilibrium Adaptation from Short-Term Self-Regulation Dynamics Using Latent Differential Equations.

ABSTRACT: Self-regulating systems change along different timescales. Within a given week, a depressed person's affect might oscillate around a low equilibrium point. However, when the timeframe is expanded to capture the year during which they onboarded antidepressant medication, their equilibrium and oscillatory patterns might reorganize around a higher affective point. To simultaneously account for the meaningful change processes that happen at different time scales in complex self-regulatory systems, we propose a single model that combines a second-order linear differential equation for short timescale regulation and a first-order linear differential equation for long timescale adaptation of equilibrium. This model allows for individual-level moderation of short-timescale model parameters. The mo
