A Markov transition model in the analysis of the immune response.
A method for the analysis of repeated measures of immune response is given. Typically the reactions of response to stimulus do not occur at the same time for all experimental units so that regression models are inappropriate for this type of data. Instead Markov transition models are suggested and procedures given for testing differences among response patterns.
