Mixed-effects models for modeling cardiac functions and treatment effects
MIXED-EFFECTS MODELS FOR MODELINGCARDIAC FUNCTIONS AND TREATMENT EFFECTS Hyejeong JangApril 15, 2011 Mixed-effects model is an efficient tool for analyzing longitudinal data. The randomeffects in mixed-effects model can be used to capture the correlations among repeatedmeasurements within a subject. The time points are not fixed and all available data can beused in mixed-eff...
متن کاملFitting Linear Mixed-Effects Models using lme4
Maximum likelihood or restricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimates of the parameters in linear mixed-effects models can be determined using the lmer function in the lme4 package for R. As for most model-fitting functions in R, the model is described in an lmer call by a formula, in this case including both fixedand random-effects terms. The formula and data together determine a numerical repr...
متن کاملParameter Estimation in Spatial Generalized Linear Mixed Models with Skew Gaussian Random Effects using Laplace Approximation
Spatial generalized linear mixed models are used commonly for modelling non-Gaussian discrete spatial responses. We present an algorithm for parameter estimation of the models using Laplace approximation of likelihood function. In these models, the spatial correlation structure of data is carried out by random effects or latent variables. In most spatial analysis, it is assumed that rando...
متن کاملUsing Mixed-Effects Modeling to Compare Different Grain-Sized Skill Models
Most assessments, like the math subtest of the SAT or the GRE, are unidimensional, in that they treat all questions on the test as sampling a single underlying “skill”. Can we predict state tests scores better if we tag the questions with fine-grained models the skills needed? Psychometricians don’t do this presumably because they don’t get better fitting model, for a variety of reasons. We are...
متن کاملSpecies Distribution Modeling: Comparison of Fixed and Mixed Effects Models Using INLA
Invasive alien species are among the most important, least controlled, and least reversible of human impacts on the world’s ecosystems, with negative consequences affecting biodiversity and socioeconomic systems. Species distribution models have become a fundamental tool in assessing the potential spread of invasive species in face of their native counterparts. In this study we compared two dif...
