Description
Longitudinal research is a broad field in which substantial advances have been made over the past decade. Unlike many of the existing
books that only address the analysis of information. The Handbook of Longitudinal Research covers design and measurement
as well as the data analysis.
Designed for use by a wide-ranging audience, this Handbook not only includes perspective on the methodological
and data analysis problems in longitudinal research but it also includes contributors' data sets that enable readers who lack sophisticated
statistics skills to move from theories about longitudinal data into practice.
As the comprehensive reference, this Handbook
has no direct competition as most books in this subject area are more narrowly specialized and are pitched at a high mathematical level.
Audience
Graduate level students, instructors, and practicing researchers in the social and behavioral sciences. Secondary market in related fields like epidemiology and biomedical research.
