'Missing' A Computer Program for the Maximum Likelihood Estimates of the Parameters of the Multivariate Linear Model with Incomplete Measurements

摘要

This report describes a computer program that obtains maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of a multivariate linear model in which all variates may not be measured on each experimental unit. The variates can be: (1) repeated measurements on the same characteristic; (2) different characteristics; or (3) a mixture of repeated measurements and different characteristics.
