Ahoy my capt’n and welcome back to this side of the pond!

❝ I do not know why there is a regulatory tradition for only using completers …

Those days when studies were evaluated by a paired t-test with a pocket calculator?

❝ – I would say there is even a potential scientific and ethical advantage of using all period data.

Correct. If we would be allowed (pun!) to use a mixed-effects model. Patterson and Jones argued against this doubtful practice and the ethical implications of discarding data.*
