Analysis of Longitudinal and Cluster-Correlated Data

The analysis of data with outcomes measured repeatedly on each subject has experienced several transforming developments in the last twenty years. This monograph presents a unified treatment of modern methods for longitudinal and/or correlated data that have developed during this period. The basic approach that the author takes to modeling longitudinal data is to extend familiar univariate regression models to multivariate or correlated outcomes. The author deals with linear models for measured data and generalized linear models for binary and count data. The author shows how methods can accommodate missing outcomes and/or unbalanced designs. Both likelihood and moment methods of estimation are covered, as are random effects approaches to data modeling and parameter estimation. The monograph assumes that the reader has a solid foundation in statistical inference, linear and generalized linear regression models, and a basic knowledge of multivariate methods. It is appropriate for second year doctoral students or postdoctoral fellows in Statistics/Biostatistics as well as researchers or faculty interested in learning about the field.

Generalized Linear Mixed Models

Charles E. McCulloch

Table of Contents
Google Book Search

Generalized Linear Mixed Models explores the idea of statistical models that incorporate random factors into generalized linear models. This accommodates correlated data, nonlinear models and non-normally distributed responses. The monograph illustrates the richness of inferential goals possible and computational details in fitting these models for a variety of data sets.
