Summary

Summary

I have endeavored to provide a comprehensive introduction to a wide - riety of statistical methods for the analysis of repeated measurements. I envision this book primarily as a textbook, because the notes on which it is based have been used in a semester-length graduate course I have taught since1991.Thiscourseisprimarilytakenbygraduatestudentsinbiostat- tics and statistics, although students and faculty from other departments have audited the course. I also anticipate that the book will be a useful r- erence for practicing statisticians. This assessment is based on the positive responses I have received to numerous short courses I have taught on this topic to academic and industry groups. Althoughmyintentistoprovideareasonablycomprehensiveoverviewof methodsfortheanalysisofrepeatedmeasurements,Idonotviewthisbook as a de?nitive "state of the art" compendium of research in this area. Some general approaches are extremely active areas of current research, and it is not feasible, given the goals of this book, to include a comprehensive summary and list of references. Instead, my focus is primarily on methods that are implemented in standard statistical software packages. As a result, thelevelofdetailonsometopicsislessthaninotherbooks,andsomemore recent methods of analysis are not included. One particular example is the topic of nonlinear mixed models for the analysis of repeated measurements (Davidian and Giltinan, 1995; Vonesh and Chinchilli, 1996). With respect to some of the more recent methods of analysis, I do attempt to mention some of the areas of current research.

Choice Review

Davis's work is designed primarily as a resource for a one-semester graduate course and provides a comprehensive introduction to numerous statistical methods used in analyzing repeated measurements. Davis focuses on methods that are used in standard statistical software packages with orientation directed primarily toward statistical practitioners rather than statistical researchers. Numerous problems that concentrate on biomedical examples are included along with 80 real-data sets. Knowledge of such topics as categorical data analysis, generalized linear models, and multivariate normal distribution theory is necessary for proper understanding of the material. Additional prerequisites include mathematical statistics at the level of Robert V. Hogg and Allen T. Craig's Introduction to Mathematical Statistics (5th ed., 1995) and ANOVA and linear regression at the level of Applied Linear Statistical Analysis, John Neter et al. (2nd ed., 1985). Highly recommended for graduate students and professionals/practitioners. D. J. Gougeon University of Scranton
