Reference on longitudinal models?

Antonio Ramos writes:

The book with Hill has very little on longitudinal models. So do you recommended any reference to complement your book on covariance structures typical from these models, such as AR(1), Antedependence, Factor Analytic, etc? I am very much interest in BUGS code for these basic models as well as how to extend them to more complex situations.

My reply:

There is a book by Banerjee, Carlin, and Gelfand on Bayesian space-time models. Beyond that, I think there is good work in psychometrics on covaraince structures but I don’t know the literature.

  1. I’ve got a similar question. Who knows a good book on Bayesian multivariate modeling? (As in regression with more than 1 outcome variable.)

  2. The paper, “BUGS code for Item Response Theory,” (http://www.jstatsoft.org/v36/c01) has a section on longitudinal modeling in Item Response models, but the BUGS code for the covariance structures (e.g., AR(1) and unstructured covariance matrices) could be used in other settings. The paper is free to download and comes with supplemental BUGS code, so it might be a good place to start.
