| Joint modelling of longitudinal and event time data in
clinical research (JoineR) |
regular intervals throughout the year |
(1) To provide the clinical research community with an
awareness of potential problems in commonly occurring clinical and
observational data, the inefficiency of simple approaches, the
practical relevance of joint modelling, and the availability of
joint modelling methods in freely available, documented
software.
(2) To improve current practice in the analysis of the complex
longitudinal data structures that commonly arise in clinical and
public health research. |
