Dropouts are a common problem in longitudinal investigations where individuals are measured repeatedly over time. This holds also in a study on rheumatoid arthritis where an inception cohort was followed up over three years. The question arose whether or not these individuals caused a selection bias

A computer simulation study waa carried out to assess the performance of the test for seasonality of HE^ et aI. with monthly incidence rates. This test can be very powerful against an allnus1 sinusoidal pattern. The test's power agaiust a semi-annual sinusoidal pattern or against a "onepulse" patter
The nonparametric Behrens-Fisher hypothesis is the most appropriate null hypothesis for the two-sample comparison when one does not wish to make restrictive assumptions about possible distributions. In this paper, a numerical approach is described by which the likelihood ratio test can be calculated
