Abstract

A general latent normal model for multilevel data with mixtures of response types
is extended in the case of ordered responses to deal with variates having a large number of
categories and including count data. An example is analysed by using repeated measures data
on child growth and adult measures of body mass index and glucose. Applications are described
that are concerned with the flexible prediction of adult measurements from collections of growth
measurements and for studying the relationship between the number of measurement occasions
and growth trajectories.
