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.

|
| Written evaluaton during teaching periode | 17 % |
|
|
|
|
| Oral evaluation during teaching period | 38 % |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Use of study material during evaluation | ✔ |
|
| Explanation (English) | one's own report; one's own course notes |
|
|
|
| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | The student should contribute to and hand in all three reports; the student should present once during the study period and once in the oral exam; the student should respond to questions once in the study period and once during the oral exam. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | Students get an "X" score if they do not meet all the conditions. |
|
|
|
Second examination period
| Evaluation second examination opportunity different from first examination opprt | |
|
| Explanation (English) | Each one of the three written reports that are listed remain valid ie second chance exam if they were successful. The student has the right (but not the obligation) to do these reports again. The assignments will not change in case the student has to do one or more reports again, or chooses to do one or more reports again. Each report that is done again will get the score of the more recent report. The reports, taken together, keep contributing to 25% of the total score, divided as 1/3 of 25% for each of the three reports.
The entire score for presentation is based on the score obtained during the second chance oral exam (50%). The entire score for open oral questions is based on the score obtained during the second chance oral exam (25%). |
