Description:

In longitudinal studies it is often of interest to investigate how a marker that is repeatedly measured in time is associated with a time to an event of interest, e.g., prostate cancer studies where longitudinal PSA level measurements are collected in conjunction with the time-to-recurrence. This book provides a full treatment of joint models (JM) for longitudinal and time-to-event data. The content will be explanatory rather than mathematically rigorous and applications will be emphasized. All illustrations put forward will be available in the R programming language via the freely available package JM written by the author.
