The Analysis of Repeated Categorical Measurements Subject to Nonignorable Nonresponse

Abstract Conditional likelihood methods have been proposed for analyzing the repeated measurement of categorical responses. This article extends the methods to include partially classified subjects. The extension allows for an ignorable or nonignorable nonresponse mechanism and uses standard statistical software for the computations. Two examples of incomplete longitudinal categorical data illustrate the method.
