More Practice: Name that Time Dimension!

For the following scenarios, name if the time dimension is cross-sectional or longitudinal. If it is longitudinal, is it a time series, cohort, panel, or case study?

1. Last week a market research company phones up 2,500 people in the GTA to out if they like Rob Ford.

2. A group of small children all affected by autism are being studied from onset to their teens.

3. Each year, York gives the same student satisfaction survey to a random sample of York students. It has been going on for 10 years.

4. I’m going to do a study of 300 households in TO and administer surveys to the same household every year for the next 15 years.

Come see me in office hours or after class for the answers!
