When designing repeated measures studies, both the amount and the pattern of missing outcome data can affect power. The chance that an observation is missing may vary across measurements, and missingness may be correlated across measurements. For example, in a physiotherapy study of patients with Parkinson’s disease, increasing intermittent dropout over time yielded missing measurements of physical function. In this example, we assume data are missing completely at random, since the chance that a data point was missing appears to be unrelated to either outcomes or covariates. For data missing completely at random, we propose noncentral  F  power approximations for the Wald test for balanced linear mixed models with Gaussian responses. The power approximations are based on moments of missing data summary statistics. The moments were derived assuming a conditional linear missingness process. The approach provides approximate power for both complete-case analyses, which include independent sampling units where all measurements are present, and observed-case analyses, which include all independent sampling units with at least one measurement. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate the accuracy of the method in small samples. We illustrate the utility of the method by computing power for proposed replications of the Parkinson’s study.
