One-day training workshop



Joint modelling of longitudinal and survival data in clinical research



JoineR, http://www.joine-r.org.uk/, is a collaborative research project between the universities of Liverpool (PI: Professor Paula Williamson), Lancaster (PI: Professor Peter Diggle) and Newcastle (PI: Professor Robin Henderson), aiming to bring modern methods of statistical analysis into mainstream medical research.  The project aims to develop new statistical methodologies for the analysis of complex longitudinal data structures, implement the methods in corresponding user-friendly software in the R language and disseminate the results to the medical research community.



We are pleased to announce the following one-day training workshop:



Joint modelling of longitudinal and survival data in clinical research (JoineR)
