Analysis of multivariate longitudinal substance use outcomes using multivariate mixed cumulative logit model
Abstract Background Longitudinal assessments of usage are often conducted for multiple substances (e.g., cigarettes, alcohol and marijuana) and research interests are often focused on the inter-substance association. We propose a multivariate longitudinal modeling approach for jointly analyzing the...
