Abstract
Chapters 3, 4, and 5 have considered the situation in which a normally distributed outcome variable is measured repeatedly from each subject or experimental unit. The analysis of such data must account for the dependence among a subject’s multiple measurements. “Classical” methodology is based either on multivariate normal models with general covariance structure (Chapters 3 and 4) or on univariate repeated measures ANOVA (Chapter 5). In practice, however, repeated measurements studies are characterized by:
-
variation among experimental units with respect to the number andtiming of observations;
-
missing data;
-
•|time-dependent covariates.
