Credit points: 15

Subject outline

Repeated measures data is used commonly in many disciplines including health, psychology, economics and biology. This subject provides students with the knowledge of how to perform the appropriate statistical analysis in a repeated measures data environment by using models such as the linear mixed model, correlated random effects model and marginal model. Students will learn how to examine research questions by applying these models using the R statistical package.

Intended Learning Outcomes

01. Use specialised computer software to critically analyse, reflect on and summarise complex information, problems and concepts for repeated measures data.

02. Demonstrate an understanding of complex repeated measures regression models by expressing a research question in the form of a regression model.

03. Use advanced written communication skills to disseminate findings from analyses of repeated measures data at a level commensurate with what is appropriate in the scientific literature for a range of disciplines.

04. Use advanced written communication skills to critique published analyses of repeated measures data and to justify findings that result from applying a variety of methods.
