Abstract
We compare three methods of longitudinal analysis of pulmonary function data. Our data set is taken from a study of exposure to toluene diisocyanate (TDI) vapours in a new manufacturing plant. The first two methods are a two-stage weighted regression method and maximum likelihood estimation via the EM algorithm, and these give very similar results. The third method, regression with an autoregressive error structure, was not successfully implemented, and in our view needs better documentation.Keywords
