PhD+ Statistical Analysis in R 5: Linear Mixed Effects Models

This is the fifth (and last) session of the Statistical Analysis in R (2022 Fall pilot) series, developed through collaboration with UVA Health’s Health Sciences Library. In this final session, learners will improve their understanding of linear mixed effects models, useful when data are clustered or collected longitudinally. Learners will develop intuition about when these models may be useful, differences between linear regression models and these mixed models, and will gain experience visualizing the results and interpreting output from these models.
