"""This book deals mostly with longitudinal clinical trial data, but also with the related issue of imputing missing data. The book is an excellent resource overall, as it is fairly comprehensive, well referenced, and clear."" ~Vance W. Berger, PhD, NIH/NCI/DCP/BRG Analyzing Longitudinal Clinical Trial Data provides, in a well organized and small format, a fairly easy read that could be helpful for both researchers analyzing longitudinal data collected from clinical trials (or perhaps even observational studies) and instructors teaching undergraduate and graduate courses on clinical trials, longitudinal data, and missing data. The book is divided into four well-structured and complementary sections: background and setting, general modeling strategies and methods, methods for dealing with missing data, and overall guidance (with illustration) for developing a study. ~Journal of the American Statistical Association ""I recommend this book to anyone who deals with longitudinal clinical trials data at any level with confidence as it concisely presents essential ideas and analysis techniques with illustrative examples, in an intuitively appealing way, both on analytic and conceptual levels. It addresses an important need for practicing (bio)statisticians."" ~Biometrical Journal"
