Mixed and Multilevel Models

Why Call a Model with a Random Intercept and Slope a Random Slope Model?

August 15th, 2017 by

In this video I will answer a question from a recent webinar Random Intercept and Random Slope Models.

We are answering questions here because we had over 500 people live on the webinar so we didn’t have time to get through all the questions.

If you missed the webinar live, this and the other questions in this series may make more sense if you watch that first. It was part of our free webinar series, The Craft of Statistical Analysis, and you can sign up to get the free recording, handout, and data set below:

What Are Nested Models?

July 28th, 2017 by

Pretty much all of the common statistical models we use, with the exception of OLS Linear Models, use Maximum Likelihood estimation.

This includes favorites like:

That’s a lot of models.

If you’ve ever learned any of these, you’ve heard that some of the statistics that compare model fit in competing models require (more…)


Member Training: Crossed and Nested Factors

May 1st, 2017 by

We often talk about nested factors in mixed models — students nested in classes, observations nested within subject.

But in all but the simplest designs, it’s not that straightforward. (more…)


Member Training: A Gentle Introduction to Generalized Linear Mixed Models – Part 2

December 1st, 2016 by

Generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) are incredibly useful tools for working with complex, multi-layered data. But they can be tough to master.

In this follow-up to October’s webinar (“A Gentle Introduction to Generalized Linear Mixed Models – Part 1”), we’ll cover important topics like:

– Distinction between crossed and nested grouping factors
– Software choices for implementation of GLMMs (more…)
