This course covers modern methods of handling longitudinal, repeated measures. It will introduce the rationale of measuring change and stability over time to study phenomena as well as how within-person designs can increase statistical power and precision as compared with more traditional designs. Most the course will use multi-level models and latent (growth) curve models to specify patterns of change across time. Additional topics include visualization, measurement invariance, time-to-event models and power. Prerequisite: Familiarity with R and with MLM and/or structural equation models.
