Interest in the study of intraindividual variability is growing rapidly.
The present collection of papers deals with both longer-term, growth and change and shorter-term intraindividual variability.
The papers emphasize primarily the former within the context of analyzing large, longitudinal data sets. Also discussed are some key methodological matters.
Criteria to help with choosing methods and modeling with missing data are included.
A promising direction is toward developing a more systematic and intensive conception of the meaning and significance of the wide variety of manifestations of intraindividual variability and integrating them into theories of aging.
对个体内部变异性研究的兴趣正在迅速增长。
本论文集涉及长期的生长与变化以及短期的个体内部变异性。
这些论文在分析大型纵向数据集的背景下,主要强调前者。还讨论了一些关键的方法学问题。
包括了有助于选择方法以及处理缺失数据建模的标准。
一个有前景的方向是朝着发展一种更系统、深入的关于个体内部变异性各种表现的意义和重要性的概念,并将其整合到衰老理论中。
