β¦ Synopsis
When the individual measurements are statistically independent, the maximum likelihood estimator of treatment e ect calculated at the end of a sequential procedure overestimates the underlying e ect. Lee and DeMets (1991. J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 86, 757-762) proposed a group sequential method with repeated measurements based on the linear mixed e ects model. In this article, we investigate by simulation the properties of the maximum likelihood estimator following group sequential tests with repeated measurements data.

For small samples of Gaussian repeated measures with missing data, Barton and Cramer recommended using the EM algorithm for estimation and reducing the degrees of freedom for an analogue of Rao's F approximation to Wilks' test. Computer simulations led to the conclusion that the modified test was sl
The most commonly used models for categorical repeated measurement data are log-linear models. Not only are they easy to "t with standard software but they include such useful models as Markov chains and graphical models. However, these are conditional models and one often also requires the marginal

In this paper, repeated measures with intraclass correlation model is considered when the observations are missing at random. An exact test for the equality of the mean components and simultaneous confidence intervals (Scheffe Β΄and Bonferroni inequality types) are given for linear contrasts of the m
