The goal of this book is to provide an overview of statistical models and methods that are useful in the analysis of longitudinal data; that is, data in the form of repeated measurements on the same experimental unit over time. The intended audience is a combination of non- statistics graduate students who have taken an applied methods course covering linear regression and Analysis of Variance and masters-level statistics students looking for an applied intro course.
