From: Repeatedly measured predictors: a comparison of methods for prediction modeling
Method | Flexible with missing values | Flexible with timing of measurements | Encompasses all information on the development of the predictor | Capable of dealing with a great number of repeated measurements | Capable of dealing with a small number of repeated measurements | Straightforward predictor computation (no additional steps that need to be performed before prediction model can be made) |
