Description:

 

A range of longitudinal models will be examined including latent growth, repeated measures ANOVA and time varying and time invariant models, mixture models, fixed and random effects models and the examination of measurement models within the analysis of change. These models will be examined in the context of measures taken on a number of occasions and within a randomised trial context. The course aims to provide participants with the ability to choose the appropriate statistical model for their research design, and participants will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and run a latent growth model on clinical trial data.
