Data on mental state of 50 schizophrenia patients. For each patient, a PANSS (Positive And Negative Symptom Scale) score was obtained in weeks 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 following recruitment to a trial of a novel form of medication. A reduction in the PANSS score represents an improvement in the patient's mental state. Entries NA represent missing values of the PANSS score following that patient's premature withdrawal from the trial. Columns are: y0: PANSS score at week 0 y1: PANSS score at week 1 y2: PANSS score at week 2 y4: PANSS score at week 4 y6: PANSS score at week 6 y8: PANSS score at week 8
