Problems and advantages with dependent observations. Summary measures (Area under curve (AUC), coefficient of slope, min/max value).Covariance and correlation.Adjustment for baseline measurement.Variance components. Linear mixed effect models.Use of relevant software (Stata)
Learning outcome
After completing the course, the student should be able to: Understand the nature of dependency in clustered and repeated measurements, and how this dependency alters the approach to statistical analysis and modeling; as well as the consequences of not taking this information into account Identify clusters and potential dependency by inspecting the design and/or viewing the resulting data set Understand the principles of experimental design in which experimental factors vary both between and within clusters Perform simple, descriptive analyses such as obtaining sample covariance and correlation, and corresponding graphical plots such as scatter plots, to illuminate key features of data with clustered and/or repeated observations Perform and interpret variance component estimation, and adjustment for baseline value in randomized trials using analysis-of-covariance Perform and interpret linear mixed regression models with random intercept, with random intercept and random slopes for covariates; using appropriate software Understand the special nature of observations made along the time axis, including the possibility of autoregressive residuals
