Tests for profile analysis based on two-step monotone missing data
In this paper, we consider profile analysis for the observations with two-step monotone missing data. There exist three interesting hypotheses - the parallelism hypothesis, level hypothesis, and flatness hypothesis - when comparing the profiles of some groups. The T²-type statistics and their asymptotic null distributions for the three hypotheses are given for two-sample profile analysis. We propose the approximate upper percentiles of these test statistics. When the data do not have missing observations,...
