This course is dedicated to longitudinal and incomplete data, organized around the central themes:
- Continuous longitudinal data, with focus on the linear mixed model.
- Non-Gaussian longitudinal data, with focus on generalized estimating equations and other non-likelihood based methods; with focus on generalized linear mixed models and other likelihood based methods.
- The relationship between marginal and hierarchical models.
- Incomplete data.
- Sensitivity analysis for incomplete data.

|
| Conditions | All components have to be taken up. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | Students get an "X" score if they do not meet the condition. |
|
|
|
Second examination period
| Evaluation second examination opportunity different from first examination opprt | |
|
| Explanation (English) | Each one of the three projects that resulted in a pass score, can be maintained during the second chance exam. The students can but do not have to do such reports again. Every report that resulted in a fail has to be done again.
The assignments for these reports remain the same as for the first chance exam.
The structure of the second chance exam remains the same as for the first chance exam. |
