Publisher's Synopsis
Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics A modern perspective on mixed models The availability of powerful computing methods in recent decades has thrust linear and nonlinear mixed models into the mainstream of statistical application. This volume offers a modern perspective on generalized, linear, and mixed models, presenting a unified and accessible treatment of the newest statistical methods for analyzing correlated, nonnormally distributed data. As a follow--up to Searle's classic, Linear Models, and Variance Components by Searle, Casella, and McCulloch, this new work progresses from the basic one--way classification to generalized linear mixed models. A variety of statistical methods are explained and illustrated, with an emphasis on maximum likelihood and restricted maximum likelihood.;An invaluable resource for applied statisticians and industrial practitioners, as well as students interested in the latest results, Generalized, Linear, and Mixed Models features: A review of the basics of linear models and linear mixed models Descriptions of models for nonnormal data, including generalized linear and nonlinear models Analysis and illustration of techniques for a variety of real data sets Information on the accommodation of longitudinal data using these models Coverage of the prediction of realized values of random effects A discussion of the impact of computing issues on mixed models
