Analysis of Longitudinal Data with Examples

<p>Development in methodology on longitudinal data is fast. Currently there are a lack of intermediate /advanced level textbooks which introduce students and practicing statisticians to the updated methods on correlated data inference. This book will present a discussion of the modern approaches to inference including the links between the theories of estimators and various types of efficient statistical models including likelihood-based approaches. The theory will be supported with practical examples of R-codes and R-packages applied to interesting case-studies from a number of different areas.</p><p>Key Features:</p><p>•Includes the most up-to-date methods</p><p>•Use simple examples to demonstrate complex methods</p><p>•Uses real data from a number of areas</p><p>•Examples utilize R code</p>
