In the master's thesis, we present the methodology of joint modeling and analyze data on patients with chronic heart failure. Data were collected as part of the United4Health project for 128 patients over four years. Diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, and heart rate were selected for daily variables. In the case of diastolic pressure, we present the choice of several types of models that we have built due to the nature of the data and we interpreted the differences between them. We follow the article Njagi et al. (2013), in which they made the same analysis. We also use the extended Cox model and compare it with the joint modeling methodology.
