Multilevel analysis for a longitudinal clinical trial

Beverly Ann Shirkey, The University of Texas School of Public Health

Abstract

This study applies the multilevel analysis technique to longitudinal data of a large clinical trial. The technique accounts for the correlation at different levels when modeling repeated blood pressure measurements taken throughout the trial. This modeling allows for closer inspection of the remaining correlation and non-homogeneity of variance in the data. Three methods of modeling the correlation were compared.
