Analysis of repeated measures designs with changing covariates in clinical trials
AT &T Bell Laboratories Marray Hill, New Jersey 07974, U.S.A.
A multivariate model is proposed for analysing repeated measures designs with changing or within-subject covariates. Under the assumption of multivariate normality the likelihood ratio tests are derived for testing certain linear hypotheses. Some special designs are discussed and a numerical example is given to illustrate the method for analysing a two-period crossover design.
