Abstract
We present the score and Wald test analogues to Srivastava's (1985, Comm. Statist. A—Theory Methods, 14, 775–792) likelihood ratio tests for the multivariate growth curve model with missing data, and illustrate their use with data from an immunotherapy experiment (Fukushima et al. (1982, Int. J. Cancer, 29, 107–112, 113–117)).
