In statistics, a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) is an extension to the generalized linear model (GLM) in which the linear predictor contains random effects in addition to the usual fixed effects. [1] [2] [3] They also inherit from generalized linear models the idea of extending linear mixed models to non-normal data.
Multilevel models (also known as hierarchical linear models, linear mixed-effect models, mixed models, nested data models, random coefficient, random-effects models, random parameter models, or split-plot designs) are statistical models of parameters that vary at more than one level. [1]
A mixed model, mixed-effects model or mixed error-component model is a statistical model containing both fixed effects and random effects. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] These models are useful in a wide variety of disciplines in the physical, biological and social sciences.
IRLS is used to find the maximum likelihood estimates of a generalized linear model, and in robust regression to find an M-estimator, as a way of mitigating the influence of outliers in an otherwise normally-distributed data set, for example, by minimizing the least absolute errors rather than the least square errors.
Best linear unbiased predictions" (BLUPs) of random effects are similar to best linear unbiased estimates (BLUEs) (see Gauss–Markov theorem) of fixed effects. The distinction arises because it is conventional to talk about estimating fixed effects but about predicting random effects, but the two terms are otherwise equivalent. (This is a bit ...
Mixed logit is a fully general statistical model for examining discrete choices. It overcomes three important limitations of the standard logit model by allowing for random taste variation across choosers, unrestricted substitution patterns across choices, and correlation in unobserved factors over time. [ 1 ]
There exists a range of different model classes and methodology that make use of latent variables and allow inference in the presence of latent variables. Models include: linear mixed-effects models and nonlinear mixed-effects models; Hidden Markov models; Factor analysis; Item response theory; Analysis and inference methods include:
