- Another approach to look at is the one by Stram, Wei and Ware (SWW):
-
-
- Stram, D. O., Wei, L. J. and Ware, J. H. "Analysis of repeated
- ordered
- categorical outcomes with possibly missing observations and time-
- dependent covariates.: Journal of the American Statistical
- Assocation,
- (1988):83;631-637.
-
- Also Chuck Davis wrote in nice overview paper:
-
- Davis, C. S. "Simi-parametric and non-parametric methods for the
- analysis of repeated measurements with applications to clinical
- trials." Statistics in Medicine, (1991):10;1959-1980.

- Hope this helps.
