This paper discusses statistical methods for the analysis of repeated observations of categorical variables as they might arise in longitudinal studies. Two general types of models are described:marginalmodels that give representations for the marginal distribution of response at each occasion, andtransitionalmodels that give representations for the transition probabilities between outcome states at successive occasions. The conceptual and technical differences are discussed and recent work advancing both approaches is reviewed. The two approaches are illustrated through analysis of repeated observations on interval history of the respiratory symptom ‘persistent wheeze’ in preadolescent children.
