    Summary

    This study addresses missing data in repeated measurements, particularly when data is absent at the end of series. It employs score tests for comparing treatment groups, even with non-multivariate normal data, by using expected normal scores.

    Area of Science:

    • Statistics
    • Biostatistics
    • Longitudinal Data Analysis

    Background:

    • Repeated measurements are common in clinical trials and observational studies.
    • Missing data, especially at the end of series, poses analytical challenges.
    • Standard statistical methods may be biased or inefficient with such data patterns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze datasets with repeated measurements and missing data at the end of series.
    • To compare treatment groups using a robust statistical approach.
    • To provide a method applicable to both multivariate normal and non-normal data.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of two datasets featuring longitudinal data with terminal missing observations.
    • Application of the score test for comparing treatment groups under multivariate normality assumptions.

  • Utilizing expected normal scores to handle non-multivariate normal data, ensuring method applicability.

    • Main Results:

    • The score test effectively compares treatment groups even with missing data at the end of series.
    • Transformation to expected normal scores accommodates data that deviates from multivariate normality.
    • The proposed method provides valid inferences for longitudinal data analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • The score test with expected normal scores is a viable method for analyzing repeated measurements with terminal missing data.
    • This approach enhances the reliability of treatment group comparisons in longitudinal studies.
    • Researchers can confidently apply this method to datasets with similar missing data patterns.
