Scope
of the course
Situations
in which the objects being studied are measured repeatedly, at a series
of successive points in time, arise in many application areas including
medicine, psychology and engineering. They present challenging problems
for analysis, because the observations are not independent, and
suitable models must be found to reflect this. Recent years have
witnessed the development of powerful new approaches for handling such
data, and the aim of this course is to cover those developments. Topics
to be covered include linear models for continuous processes,
generalized linear models for discrete/non-Gaussian processes missing
values, nonparametric methods and crossover trials. Emphasis is on the
situation where several objects are measured at relatively few times,
rather than a single object at many times.
