In repeated measures studies how observations change over time is often of prime interest. Modelling this time effect in the context of discrimination, is the objective of this article. We study the problem of classification with multiple q-variate observations with time effect on each individual. The covariance matrices as well as mean vectors are mordelled respectively to accommodate the correlation between the successive repeated measures and to describe the time effects. Computation schemes for maximum likelihood estimation of required population parameters are provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
