Mixture modeling for longitudinal data • good or bad responders in RCTs • developmental perspective • …
Mixture modeling for longitudinal data • Why this workshop today and not several years ago? • The questions did exist several years ago • But • Somewhat exploratory approach (not classical in biomedical research) • Tools more or less efficient (big sample sizes, transversal data)
Mixture modeling for longitudinal data • But the first applications appeared… • Trajectory of aggression in young children • With user-friendly routines • With some elements of robustness
Mixture modeling for longitudinal data • These models are somewhat different from the classical techniques used in biomedical research • “Bottom up” as opposed to “top down” • Intersection of numerous methodological fields • Biostatistics • Computer science • Social sciences • Psychometrics
Mixture modeling for longitudinal data • Statistics are not only mathematics, statistics are highly dependant on the background of application (culture) • Unique opportunity to confront different type of approaches • With statistical and practical considerations • With the objective to be confident with these methods, and to be able to explain them to reviewers
