results. This study fits the two models and compare them on the basis of their efficiencies. In here we fit those models for the Health conditions of the old peoples and obtain the efficiencies for both models and found that the estimate of Azzalini’s model is more efficient than that of Muenz-Rubinstein model. 1. Introduction Longitudinal data are defined to be repeated measurements on sampling units (typically, individuals) over time.The longitudinal studies or follow up studies are repeated
