We welcome you to the webpage that we have created to support our recent
book, Applied Longitudinal Data Analysis (ALDA).
We intend ALDA to be a professional
book for empirical researchers and graduate students in the behavioral,
social, and biomedical sciences. It offers an accessible in-depth presentation
of two popular statistical methods for analyzing longitudinal data:
multilevel modeling of individual change and hazard/survival modeling
for event occurrence in both discrete- and continuous-time.
In
ALDA, using real data from published studies, we take
you step-by-step through complete longitudinal data-analyses, from
exploratory strategies for displaying your data sensibly to the
specification, fitting, and interpretation of complex statistical
models.
If
you want to learn more about ALDA, here are some of the
things that you can do at this website:
- You
can examine ALDA's contents
pages.
- You can read comments
about ALDA by three colleagues.
- You can see a list
of courses that currently use ALDA (note that we
cannot guarantee that this list is up-to-date, as we receive news
of new courses that have adopted the book all the time).
- You can check out
the talks or workshops at which we
have presented material from ALDA.
- You can follow web-links
to our other books and scholarly
papers.
Here,
at the site, we also provide a variety of free supporting
materials for ALDA, including:
- The
datasets, computer programs, and output that form the basis
of ALDA's exhibits. These examples are programmed in all
the major statistical packages. We thank thank Michael Mitchell,
and all the hard-working folk at the UCLA
Academic Technology Services, for creating and supporting
these materials. We strongly recommend that you visit the UCLA
ATS site, not only to examine materials related to ALDA,
but also to take advantage of everything that is provided at the
site for the teaching of applied statistics.
- Selected PowerPoint
presentations of material that we have devised of selected
ALDA chapters (with accompanying handouts).
- Links to digitized
video-recordings of selected professional presentations that
we have made of material from ALDA.
- A (growing) list of
errata that our readers have found in
ALDA. For these errors, we take full responsibility and
we apologize to you in advance!
