Repeated measures ASCA+ for analysis of longitudinal intervention studies with multivariate outcome data

Longitudinal intervention studies with repeated measurements over time are an important type of experimental design in biomedical research. Due to the advent of “omics”-sciences (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics), longitudinal studies generate increasingly multivariate outcome dat...

description Longitudinal intervention studies with repeated measurements over time are an important type of experimental design in biomedical research.
