5.0 out of 5 stars
great book on important topic, February 9, 2008
This review is from: Linear Mixed Models in Practice: A SAS-Oriented Approach (Lecture Notes in Statistics) (Paperback)
I agree with the brief comments of the other Amazon reviewer. However, these authors have updated the material in a book just published in 2000 "Linear Mixed Models for Longitudinal Data". The approach is the same in both books but the new one contains a lot of new advances that have occurred over the last three years. If you want a thorough account with the latest developments buy the other book. I have given a thorough review of the other book for Amazon. On the other hand if you just want to learn longitudinal data analysis this monograph will work for you and may be less expensive since it is in paperback while the other book is only currently in hardcover. Both books illustrate examples using SAS Proc Mixed.

This review is from: Linear Mixed Models in Practice: A SAS-Oriented Approach (Lecture Notes in Statistics) (Paperback)
Linear mixed model has been widely used in biomedical reserach, such as longitudinal observational studies and clinical trials. However, the model is theoretically complicated, and is hard to use it. This book not only covers statistical methodologies related to this model, but also gives excellent examples which can teach the readers how to use it.
