Design and analysis of two-phase studies with multivariate longitudinal data.

ABSTRACT: Two-phase studies are crucial when outcome and covariate data are available in a first-phase sample (e.g., a cohort study), but costs associated with retrospective ascertainment of a novel exposure limit the size of the second-phase sample, in whom the exposure is collected. For longitudinal outcomes, one class of two-phase studies stratifies subjects based on an outcome vector summary (e.g., an average or a slope over time) and oversamples subjects in the extreme value strata while undersampling subjects in the medium-value stratum. Based on the choice of the summary, two-phase studies for longitudinal data can increase efficiency of time-varying and/or time-fixed exposure parameter estimates. In this manuscript, we extend efficient, two-phase study designs to multivariate longitudinal co
