Longitudinal Analysis and Multi-level Modelling of Population Health Data

Code: PHDA05
Apply this course towards: Population Health Data Analysis

Course description

This course will provide you with an introduction to—and hands-on experience specifying—multi-level modeling and longitudinal analysis. You will gain an understanding of different types of approaches including:

  • time varying and invariant predictors
  • multivariate and multi-population models with different outcomes
