The methods covered in this book are applicable to a range of applied problems including short- to long-term longitudinal studies using a range of sample sizes. The book provides non-technical, practical introductions to the concepts and issues relevant to longitudinal analysis. Topics include use of publicly available data sets, weighting and adjusting for complex sampling designs with longitudinal studies, missing data and attrition, measurement issues related to longitudinal research, the use of ANOVA and regression for average change over time, mediation analysis, growth curve models, basic and advanced structural equation models, and survival analysis. An ideal supplement for graduate level courses on data analysis and/or longitudinal modeling taught in psychology, gerontology, public health, human development, family studies, medicine, sociology, social work, and other behavioral, social, and health sciences, this multidisciplinary book will also appeal to researchers in these fields.

Book Bayesian and Frequentist Methods for Uncertainty Quantification and Interpretation in Statistical and Machine Learning Models

Download or read book Bayesian and Frequentist Methods for Uncertainty Quantification and Interpretation in Statistical and Machine Learning Models written by Junting Ren and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern statistical and machine learning models excel at capturing complex non-linear relationships between outcomes and predictors, resulting in high accuracy. However, the complexity of these models can impede statistical inference and interpretation. This dissertation confronts and tries to overcome the emerging challenges presented by intricate models and big data. One significant challenge involves modeling and statistical inference for zero-inflated semi-continuous data. Thus, in the first part, we develop a flexible Bayesian semi-parametric mixture model for zero-inflated skewed longitudinal data, generating credible intervals for not only the mean but also any quantiles of the parameters and predictions, aiding population inference of skewed data. The model is applied to evaluate how number of binge drinking episodes changes with neuromaturation using the National Consortium on Alcohol and Neuro-Development in Adolescence data. On the other hand, credible or confidence intervals do not directly address a common question: can we identify a subset of predictions or parameters with true values exceeding a specific threshold with confidence? To tackle this, in the second part, we improve upon the inverse set estimation framework that estimates such sets by developing an approach with fewer assumptions and broader applicability to various data settings. We construct an excursion set map with probability guarantee on the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program data using the proposed method. Moreover, we use this new method to discover characteristics of in-patients at high risk for severe outcomes using University of California San Diego hospital data. In the third part, we apply this inverse set estimation inference framework to quantify prediction model uncertainty and develop theories and algorithms that ensure non-conservative coverage rates for a single threshold in non-asymptotic settings in regression problems. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the constructed confidence sets for uncertainty quantification and interpretation in both simulate data and PhysioNet sepsis prediction data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longitudinal data analysis for biomedical and behavioral sciences This innovative book sets forth and describes methods for the analysis of longitudinaldata, emphasizing applications to problems in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. Reflecting the growing importance and use of longitudinal data across many areas of research, the text is designed to help users of statistics better analyze and understand this type of data. Much of the material from the book grew out of a course taught by Dr. Hedeker on longitudinal data analysis. The material is, therefore, thoroughly classroom tested and includes a number of features designed to help readers better understand and apply the material. Statistical procedures featured within the text include: * Repeated measures analysis of variance * Multivariate analysis of variance for repeated measures * Random-effects regression models (RRM) * Covariance-pattern models * Generalized-estimating equations (GEE) models * Generalizations of RRM and GEE for categorical outcomes Practical in their approach, the authors emphasize the applications of the methods, using real-world examples for illustration. Some syntax examples are provided, although the authors do not generally focus on software in this book. Several datasets and computer syntax examples are posted on this title's companion Web site. The authors intend to keep the syntax examples current as new versions of the software programs emerge. This text is designed for both undergraduate and graduate courses in longitudinal data analysis. Instructors can take advantage of overheads and additional course materials available online for adopters. Applied statisticians in biomedicine and the social sciences can also use the book as a convenient reference.

Book Joint Modeling of Longitudinal and Time to Event Data

Download or read book Joint Modeling of Longitudinal and Time to Event Data written by Robert Elashoff and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longitudinal studies often incur several problems that challenge standard statistical methods for data analysis. These problems include non-ignorable missing data in longitudinal measurements of one or more response variables, informative observation times of longitudinal data, and survival analysis with intermittently measured time-dependent covariates that are subject to measurement error and/or substantial biological variation. Joint modeling of longitudinal and time-to-event data has emerged as a novel approach to handle these issues. Joint Modeling of Longitudinal and Time-to-Event Data provides a systematic introduction and review of state-of-the-art statistical methodology in this active research field. The methods are illustrated by real data examples from a wide range of clinical research topics. A collection of data sets and software for practical implementation of the joint modeling methodologies are available through the book website. This book serves as a reference book for scientific investigators who need to analyze longitudinal and/or survival data, as well as researchers developing methodology in this field. It may also be used as a textbook for a graduate level course in biostatistics or statistics.

Book Longitudinal Data Analysis with Latent Growth Modeling

Download or read book Longitudinal Data Analysis with Latent Growth Modeling written by Rebecca D. Blanchard and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper introduces latent growth modeling (LGM) as a statistical method for analyzing change over time in latent, or unobserved, variables, with particular emphasis of the application of this method in higher education research. While increasingly popular in other areas of education research and despite a wealth of publicly-available datasets relevant to postsecondary education research, LGM has not been utilized widely by higher education researchers. This paper begins by introducing LGM as a desirable mechanism for analyzing variability in individual growth trajectories over time and then presents an illustration of its application. An example of the application of LGM to data obtained from the Integrated Postsecondary Educational Data System (IPEDS) is presented to introduce specific components of LGM, including model specification and goodness-of-fit indices, and to demonstrate the research potential for higher education researchers. Finally, additional datasets offering longitudinal analysis potential for higher education researchers are presented to facilitate research. (Contains 2 tables, 2 figures, and 8 footnotes.).
