The problem considered in this paper is the estimation of the underlying order of rn physiological changes from incomplete observations. The observations are incomplete in the sense that, for each individual in the sample, only the identity, but not the order, of the first k < rn changes are observe
It is well known that the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of a multivariate normal distribution from incomplete data with a monotone pattern have closed-form expressions and that the MLEs from incomplete data with a general missing-data pattern can be obtained using the Expectation-Maximization
In evaluating prognostic factors by means of regression models, missing values in the covariate data are a frequent complication. There exist statistical tools to analyse such incomplete data in an efficient manner, and in this paper we make use of the traditional maximum likelihood principle. As we
