""The main focus of this book is to introduce the generalized linear mixed-effects models with S:T repeated measures design, which provide a flexible and powerful tool to deal with longitudinal data with heterogeneity or variability among subject-specific responses and missing data. This book illustrates theoretical methodologies with a focus on the practicality with a wealth of real-life examples making it easy to understand the topics. It is well organized and contains SAS codes and outputs as useful references. In summary, this is an excellent book with a very good selection of examples. It is clearly written and is enjoyable to read."" ~Misoo C. Ellison, Merck & Co., Inc., Kenilworth, NJ
