Sommario/riassunto

In this book the most important techniques available for longitudinal



data analysis are discussed, including simple techniques such as the paired t-test and summary statistics, and more sophisticated techniques such as generalised estimating equations and random coefficient analysis. This practical guide is suitable for non-statisticians involved in medical research and epidemiology.
