摘要
Repeated categorical outcomes frequently occur in clinical trials. Muenz and Rubinstein (1985) presented Markov chain models to analyze binary repeated data in a breast cancer study. We extend their method to the setting when more than one repeated outcome variable is of interest. In a randomized clinical trial of breast cancer, we investigate the dependency of toxicities on predictor variables and the relationship among multiple toxic effects.
