This study introduces a new method for analyzing repeated measures data with upper truncation, offering more accurate parameter estimates. The developed maximum likelihood approach provides a smaller mean squared error compared to existing methods.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Biostatistics
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Repeated measures designs are common in longitudinal studies.
  • Truncated data presents unique statistical challenges.
  • Accurate parameter estimation is crucial for reliable study conclusions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a maximum likelihood estimation method for parameters in repeated measures designs with data truncated above a cutpoint.
  • To compare the performance of the proposed method against existing iterative weighted least-squares estimates.

Main Methods:

  • Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) for truncated data.
  • An expectation-maximization (EM)-like iterative procedure to solve MLE equations.
  • Application to a real-world dataset on dioxin elimination.
