Abstract:
|
The analysis of longitudinal trajectories usually focuses on evaluation of explanatory factors that are either associated with rates of change or with overall mean levels of a continuous outcome variable. In this talk I will introduce valid design and analysis methods that permit outcome dependent sampling of longitudinal response data for scenarios where all outcome data currently exist, but a targeted sub-study is being planned in order to collect additional key exposure information on a limited number of subjects. I will propose stratified sampling based on specific summaries of individual longitudinal trajectories, and I will detail an ascertainment corrected maximum likelihood approach for estimation using the resulting biased sample of subjects. In addition, I will demonstrate that the efficiency of an outcome-based sampling design relative to use of a simple random sample depends highly on the choice of outcome summary statistic used to direct sampling and will show a natural link between the goals of the longitudinal regression model and corresponding desirable designs.
