These types of data arise in longitudinal studies, such as randomized controlled trials, as well as in longitudinal observational studies, such as cohort studies. The emphasis of this course will be on understanding the class of problems and data in which these methods are applicable and the use of these methods in practice. Although this is not a theory class some foundational knowledge of probability theory and mathematical statistics are necessary. Basics concepts from probability and mathematical statistics will be reviewed as needed.
