Aim of the Course
The course will give a fairly thorough introduction to follow-up data at the individual level and in particular how these are transformed into tabular data. This is the fundamental prerequisite for understanding the structure of tabular follow-up data (counts/person-years) and the use of APC-models for this type of data.
The so-called identifiability problem in APC-models will be rigorously shown to be a parametrization problem, and various options for necessary assumptions will be treated, and the basic mathematics (linear algebra) for dealing with them will be covered.
All will be illustrated thoroughly with examples.
