Course objectives
Aim of this lecture is to show how to analyse data with correlated structure by means of selected advanced methods.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to: - characterize methods GLS, LME and GEE - from a linear predictor from available explanatorz variables - propose experimental design - aply these methods on data
