AOD: Interface Functional and Longitudinal Data Analysis - November 8-10, 2010
Workshop Information
Longitudinal and time-dynamic data are collected throughout the life sciences, social sciences and environmental sciences to explore time-dynamic aspects of phenomena that evolve over time. Longitudinal data analysis is a core technique of biostatistics, and has seen fast development over the last decades, primarily in the area of random effects modeling. Several researchers have begun more recently to explore the potential of adopting a functional perspective for the analysis of longitudinal data. The promise is that Functional Data Analysis provides flexible approaches dependence structures, includes derivatives and the analysis of dynamics, and permits the data to determine the most suitable model. The workshop is intended to integrate these various perspectives and to determine promising technology and prospective areas of interest for this interface, emphasizing both methodology and applications. It will bring together researchers working in separate communities, with the aim to explore and harness synergies between the various approaches.
Organizers: Marie Davidian (N.C.State University), Fang Yao (University of Toronto), Hans-Georg Müller (Univ. of California-Davis)
Proposed session titles:
- Multivariate longitudinal/functional data
- Multilevel longitudinal/functional data
- Functional components in joint modeling of longitudinal and survival outcomes
- Longitudinal/functional data as components in regression models
- Longitudinal/functional models for dynamics
- Variable selection in longitudinal/functional models
