Applied Mixed Model Analysis - Jos W R Twisk

. .

Résumé :
This book explains all aspects of mixed model analysis without mathematical jargon, so that non-statisticians can understand the basic principles, analyze their own data, and interpret the results with confidence. Worked examples are analyzed with STATA, and all datasets are available for download, equipping readers to replicate the methods.
