Assessment and development of longitudinal data analysis methods

Data in psychology that consist of repeated measurements collected over time are known as longitudinal data. These data come in many different forms. Some of the most common are panel data (multiple variables measured for each individual with relatively few timepoints) and time series data (typically one variable measured per individual, but many timepoints). Different methods exist to assess multivariate change for the different types of longitudinal data. Currently, my work focuses on methods of analysis for panel data, specifically with two variables.
