摘要
This paper considers a finite mixture model for longitudinal data, which can be used to study the dependency of the shape of the respective follow-up curves on treatments or other influential factors and to classify these curves. An EM-algorithm to achieve the ml-estimate of the model is given. The potencies of the model are demonstrated using data of a clinical trial.
