    Analyzing unbalanced or incomplete repeated-measures data is challenging. This study presents a maximum likelihood approach using general linear models and flexible covariance structures for robust analysis of complex longitudinal data.

    Area of Science:

    • Statistics
    • Biostatistics
    • Longitudinal Data Analysis

    Background:

    • Repeated-measures data analysis often encounters challenges with unbalanced or incomplete datasets.
    • Existing methods may not adequately handle complex covariance structures or missing data.
    • Accurate analysis is crucial for valid conclusions in longitudinal studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a unified maximum likelihood (ML) framework for analyzing unbalanced and incomplete repeated-measures data.
    • To accommodate a wide range of within-subject covariance structures.
    • To provide efficient algorithms for parameter estimation.

    Main Methods:

    • Maximum likelihood analysis utilizing a general linear model for expected responses.
    • Incorporation of arbitrary structural models for within-subject covariances.
