Book excerpt: This book covers the recent advancement of statistical methods for the analysis of longitudinal data. Real datasets from four large NIH-supported longitudinal clinical trials and epidemiological studies illustrate the practical applications of the statistical methods. This book focuses on the nonparametric approaches, which have gained tremendous popularity in biomedical studies. These approaches have the flexibility to answer many scientific questions that cannot be properly addressed by the existing parametric approaches, such as the linear and nonlinear mixed effects models.
