Abstract

Grouped data arise in several diverse contexts in statistical design and analysis. Examples include medical studies in which patients are followed over time and measurements on them recorded repeatedly, educational studies in which students grouped into classrooms and schools are scored on examinations, and sample surveys in which the respondents to questionnaires are grouped within geographical districts.
