Abstract
Maximum likelihood estimates and likelihood ratio statistics and their asymptotic null and nonnull distributions are derived for the k-population testing and estimation problem with patterned means and covariance matrices in the presence of missing data. These results are an extension of results of Szatrowski (1979) on the k-population complete data problem and Szatrowski (1983) on the one-population missing data problem. The standard delta method is the principal technique used for deriving the asymptotic nonnull distributions.
