Data for Applied longitudinal data analysis: Modeling change and event occurrence
By Michael McCarthy in R packages
March 13, 2023
The alda package contains 31 data sets provided by Singer and Willet (2003) with their book, Applied longitudinal data analysis: Modeling change and event occurrence, that are suitable for longitudinal mixed effects modelling, longitudinal structural equation modelling, and survival analysis. All the data sets in this package are real data from real studies; however, most were modified by Singer and Willet (2003) for the illustration of statistical methods, so they may not match the results of the original studies.
The package website contains 14 articles demonstrating how to recreate examples from the textbook in R, and 1 vignette with tips and tricks for working with longitudinal data.
