Channel: R Consortium
Date: 2021-08-31

Ariel Mundo, a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Arkansas, presents on Generalized Additive Models for Longitudinal Biomedical Data. Mundo further describes how longitudinal data are used in biomedical research. A simulation of an rm-ANOVA model is also provided to give the audience a better understanding of the subject.
