Prerequisite
Intermediate level biostatistics and epidemiology
Covers statistical models for drawing scientific inferences from longitudinal data. Topics include longitudinal study design; exploring longitudinal data; linear and generalized linear regression models for correlated data, including marginal, random effects, and transition models; and handling missing data.
Learning Objectives
Upon successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
- Prepare graphical or tabular displays of longitudinal data that effectively communicate the patterns of scientific interest
- Use a general linear model to make scientific inferences about the relationship between response and explanatory variables while accounting for the correlation among repeated responses for an individual
- Use marginal, random effects, or transitional generalized linear models to make scientific inferences when the repeated observations are binary, counts, or non-Gaussian continuous observations
- Use SAS or STATA to conduct the appropriate longitudinal data analyses
