Panel analysis
Panel (data) analysis is a statistical method, widely used in social science, epidemiology, and econometrics, which deals with two and "n"-dimensional (in and by the - cross sectional/times series time) panel data. The data are usually collected over time and over the same individuals and then a regression is run over these two dimensions. Multidimensional analysis is an econometric method in which data are collected over more than two dimensions (typically, time, individuals, and some third dimension).
