Course Summary and Objectives

This course will introduce researchers to mixed model methods and longitudinal data analysis applications in statistics. The course aims to:

• enable the student to write and interpret mixed models for different study designs (including survey data, designed experiments, observational studies, and longitudinal studies)
• enable the student to critically evaluate and interpret statistical inference for mixed models and longitudinal data
• enable the student to choose, apply, and interact with statistical software for mixed models.

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to formulate a mixed model, define and interpret possible estimators, and implement a mixed model analysis for a two stage nested study, a repeated measures study, and a factorial experimental study.
