Introduction to analysing longitudinal data | CLOSER Learning Hub

This animation introduces new researchers to analysing longitudinal data, describes how it differs from cross-sectional data analysis, and explains why different statistical techniques are required to answer different research questions.

This animation is the first in a series of CLOSER animations introducing different statistical methods and methodological approaches to analyse longitudinal data. The four animations in this series focus on the following topics:
Introduction to analysing longitudinal data
Regression analysis
Multi-level and growth curve analysis
Survival analysis
