摘要
For clinical trials that entail observations at successive visits for the occurrence of a side effect, this paper considers a likelihood‐based method to compare side effect incidence rates. The method, which employs the assumption of a Markov chain of order one for the vectors of binary responses, handles missing data due to premature withdrawals. An actual numerical example and a simulated example illustrate the technique. Copyright © 1990 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
