Discriminant analysis is commonly used to classify an observation into one of two (or more) populations on the basis of correlated measurements. Classical discriminant analysis approaches require complete data for all observations. Our extension enables the use of all available longitudinal data, re

This paper describes robust procedures for estimating parameters of a mixed e!ects linear model as applied to longitudinal data. In addition to "xed regression parameters, the model incorporates random subject e!ects to accommodate between-subjects variability and autocorrelation for within-subject
We employ a regression model with errors that follow a continuous autoregressive process to analyse longitudinal studies. In this way, unequally spaced observations do not present a problem in the analysis. We employ a Bayesian approach, where our inferences are based on a direct resampling process
their results. As we have discussed with the authors, we believe that there remains much useful work to be done to evaluate the estimator and to determine how and where it should be use (Schoenfeld, personal communication). We also think that, in the absence of censoring, situations where the new te
