Abstract
We present an overview of issues and methods for analysing repeated measures of a continuous random variable. We discuss modelling the mean vector and covariance structure, statistical efficiency, regression diagnostics, and discrepancies between longitudinal and cross‐sectional methods. We illustrate key points with examples and discuss areas requiring further development.
