R Documentation
Multivariate Longitudinal Continuous (Gaussian) Data (MLGD)
Description
A data frame with 2000 observations on the following 6 variables. MLGD is a simulated bivariate longitudinal continuous dataset assuming there are 500 subjects in the study whose data are collected at 4 equally-spaced time points.
Usage
data(mlgd)
Format
A data frame with 2000 observations on the following 6 variables.
ID
a numeric vector for subject ID
resp1
a numeric vector for the first longitudinal count response
resp2
a numeric vector for the second longitudinal count response
X
a numeric vector for the covariate, X
time
a numeric vector for the time point at which observations are collected
X.time
a numeric vector for the interaction between X and time
Details
The covariates, X and time are the standardized values indeed. The related interaction is calculated by using these standardized values. X is a time-independent covariate.
For the details of data generation see the user manual of the R package mmm at http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/mmm/index.html.
