Modeling longitudinal data.

From MaRDI portal





The author teaches the art and statistical science of modern longitudinal data analysis, special attention being paid to specifying, understanding and interpreting longitudinal data models. He shows how to inspect longitudinal data graphically, analyze the time trend and covariates, model the covariance matrix and, finally, draw relevant conclusions. Covariance models include, among others, random effects, autoregressive, autoregressive moving average, antedependence, factor analytic and completely unstructured models. Longer sections cover an introduction to and critique of nonlongitudinal analyses of longitudinal data, missing data concepts, regression diagnostics and simultaneous modeling of two longitudinal variables. Shorter sections include a general discussion how computational algorithms work, handling transformed data, and basic design issues. This book is intended for master's and doctoral students in statistics and biostatistics as well as for doctoral students of many other disciplines such as psychology, education, economics, sociology, business, epidemiology and engineering. The common background must be a good course in linear regression.
