Kursens syfte The aim of the course is to introduce statistical models and methods for the analysis of longitudinal data and to develop statistical skills of analyzing dependent data.
Kursens lärandemål After successful completion of the course the student will be able to: 1. Understand the underlying characteristics of longitudinal data 2. Identify appropriate tests for longitudinal studies 3. Manage longitudinal datasets and prepare these for statistical analysis using statistical software program SPSS 4. Apply both simple and complex statistical methods of longitudinal data 5. Use SPSS to perform the above mentioned statistical analysis 6. Present and interpret the results of analysis.
Kursens innehåll The main focus will be on frequently used statistical methods and how these should be used to provide more insight concerning research questions in longitudinal studies. Thus the course covers both classical and modern methods to analyze longitudinal data. Topics include Univariate repeated measures analysis of variance, Multivariate repeated measures analysis of variance, Drawbacks and limitations of classical methods; General linear models for longitudinal data; Linear mixed effects models. The underlying mathematical theory will not be stressed, and the main focus will be on concepts and applications.
