Figure 3. Behavior and prediction of tree typical subjects: a. subject with a response at week 78, b.<br />

subject without response at week 78 and c. a subject without response at week 78, but with a sudden<br />

dip in HBV DNA at week 12. In the left panel the observed individual behavior of HBV DNA and ALT the<br />

fi rst 32 weeks is given. In the right panel the estimated dynamic prediction of response at each new visit<br />

with the different methods<br />

Applying the logistic regression method of the patterns of the markers the following<br />

results were obtained. A simple linear mixed model without baseline covariates with<br />

random intercepts and random slopes was first designed to estimate the subject<br />

specific patterns of the load during the first 32 weeks:
