Synopsis
Presently, statistical methods applied to longitudinal health data are based on either time series analyses, or repeated measurements using mixed models’ methodology.
Even though, these methods are successful on determining factors that affect the outcome’s magnitude under certain conditions, they are not able to build a dynamic biological model of a network of outcomes.
The increase in the length of longitudinal observations on health-related data has given the opportunity to explore biological models using dynamic models’ methodology.
In this talk I present an introduction to dynamic models and what steps are still needed to apply the methodology to health data will be presented.
