Statistical methods for analysing ecological momentary assessment data in psychopathology

To characterize the dynamics of psychological processes, ecological momentary assessment is a novel technique to gather repeated measurements of certain properties or states within the same person and across persons. may be used. Such data have higher ecological validity than retrospective data, especially in the case of psychopathology data. To analyse such data, novel statistical techniques are required. In this project, such techniques will be developed and performance of existing techniques will be evaluated.
