A modern perspective on mixed models
The availability of powerful computing methods in recent decadeshas thrust linear and nonlinear mixed models into the mainstream ofstatistical application. This volume offers a modern perspective ongeneralized, linear, and mixed models, presenting a unified andaccessible treatment of the newest statistical methods foranalyzing correlated, nonnormally distributed data.
As a follow-up to Searle's classic, Linear Models, and VarianceComponents by Searle, Casella, and McCulloch, this new workprogresses from the basic one-way classification to generalizedlinear mixed models. A variety of statistical methods are explainedand illustrated, with an emphasis on maximum likelihood andrestricted maximum likelihood. An invaluable resource for appliedstatisticians and industrial practitioners, as well as studentsinterested in the latest results, Generalized, Linear, and MixedModels features:
* A review of the basics of linear models and linear mixedmodels
* Descriptions of models for nonnormal data, including generalizedlinear and nonlinear models
* Analysis and illustration of techniques for a variety of realdata sets
* Information on the accommodation of longitudinal data using thesemodels
* Coverage of the prediction of realized values of randomeffects
* A discussion of the impact of computing issues on mixed models
