TLDR
This article proposes a marginally specified latent class pattern mixture model, where the marginal mean is assumed to follow a generalized linear model, whereas the mean conditional on the latent class and random effects is specified separately.Abstract:
In this article we consider the problem of fitting pattern mixture models to longitudinal data when there are many unique dropout times. We propose a marginally specified latent class pattern mixture model. The marginal mean is assumed to follow a generalized linear model, whereas the mean conditional on the latent class and random effects is specified separately. Because the dimension of the parameter vector of interest (the marginal regression coefficients) does not depend on the assumed number of latent classes, we propose to treat the number of latent classes as a random variable. We specify a prior distribution for the number of classes, and calculate (approximate) posterior model probabilities. In order to avoid the complications with implementing a fully Bayesian model, we propose a simple approximation to these posterior probabilities. The ideas are illustrated using data from a longitudinal study of depression in HIV-infected women.read more

Missing not at random models for latent growth curve analyses.
TL;DR: 2 classic MNAR modeling approaches for longitudinal data are described: the selection model and the pattern mixture model, which are now quite easy to estimate in popular structural equation modeling programs, particularly Mplus.

Growth modeling with nonignorable dropout: alternative analyses of the STAR*D antidepressant trial.
TL;DR: A general latent variable framework is used to study a series of models for nonignorable missingness due to dropout applied to longitudinal data from the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression study, the largest antidepressant clinical trial in the United States to date.

Handling Attrition in Longitudinal Studies: The Case for Refreshment Samples
TL;DR: The authors reviewed and bolstered the case for the use of refreshment samples in panel studies, including concatenated panel and refreshment data, and a multiple imputation approach for analyzing only the original panel.

Handling attrition in longitudinal studies: The case for refreshment samples
TL;DR: This work review and bolster the case for the use of refreshment samples in panel studies, including examples of both a fully Bayesian approach for analyzing the concatenated panel and refreshment data, and a multiple imputation approach for analyzed only the original panel.

Joint modeling of longitudinal ordinal data and competing risks survival times and analysis of the NINDS rt-PA stroke trial.
TL;DR: A joint model for longitudinal ordinal measurements and competing risks failure time data, in which a partial proportional odds model is linked to the event times by latent random variables, and enables one to make inference for both the longitudinal Ordinal outcome and the failure times simultaneously.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a new framework for the construction of reversible Markov chain samplers that jump between parameter subspaces of differing dimensionality, which is flexible and entirely constructive.

TL;DR: Routine use of MANOVA for the analysis of longitudinal data, particularly when there is a substantial proportion of drop-outs, is ill advised and psychiatric researchers dealing with such data should be aware of the advantages of the newer methods.
