This study introduces a piecewise linear growth curve model for analyzing longitudinal clinical trial data. The new method offers improved goodness of fit compared to existing techniques, enhancing the analysis of repeated measurements.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Clinical Trials Methodology
  • Longitudinal Data Analysis

Background:

  • Longitudinal designs, involving repeated measurements, are crucial in clinical trials.
  • Advanced statistical methods and software now accommodate complex covariance structures for longitudinal data analysis.
  • Hathaway et al. previously proposed a fixed four-summary-statistic linear growth curve model for longitudinal data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a procedure for analyzing longitudinal data using a piecewise linear growth curve model.
  • To evaluate the proposed model's performance under various covariance structures using Leprosy data.
  • To assess the robustness and goodness of fit of the new method through simulation studies.

Main Methods:

  • Fitting a piecewise linear growth curve model to longitudinal data.

  • Analysis conducted under different covariance structures (unstructured, compound symmetry, auto-regressive, random effects).
  • Calculation of residual sum of squares and assessment of goodness of fit for various models.

    • Main Results:

    • The piecewise linear growth curve model was fitted to Leprosy data.
    • Residual sum of squares were computed across different covariance structures.
    • Simulation studies indicated the proposed method's robustness and superior goodness of fit.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed piecewise linear growth curve model provides a robust approach for analyzing longitudinal data.
    • The method demonstrates improved goodness of fit compared to existing models.
    • This technique enhances the statistical and scientific power of analyzing repeated measurements in clinical research.
