Abstract

In this section we show how to model clustered seasonal data. We look at two types of clustered data: longitudinal data and spatial data.

Longitudinal data are time series data from multiple subjects or clusters (e.g., cities). They may be equally spaced (e.g., every week) or irregularly spaced. If each subject has the same number of responses then the data are balanced, otherwise they are unbalanced.
