Introduction

The MRC Biostatistics Unit is delighted to be organising a one-day workshop about statistical models for within-individual variability in longitudinal data.

The aim of the workshop is to gather statisticians, epidemiologists and data analysts interested in both methods and biomedical applications to discuss recent developments and future directions in modelling variability at the individual level.

The workshop will include talks from experts in longitudinal data analysis, flexible regression and joint modelling, working on the quantification of within-individual variability and its application in different biomedical fields.

To help make this event inclusive and sustainable, the workshop will be delivered in a hybrid format, with the option to participate in person or virtually, and one of the keynote talks will be delivered virtually.
