### How exactly does a “random effects model” in econometrics relate to mixed models outside of econometrics?

I used to think that "random effects model" in econometrics corresponds to a "mixed model with random intercept" outside of econometrics, but now I am not sure. Does it? Econometrics uses terms like "...

### Marginal model versus random-effects model – how to choose between them? An advice for a layman

In searching for any info about marginal model and random-effects model, and how to choose between them, I have found some info but it was more-or-less mathematical abstract explanation (like for ...

### Difference between random effect and random intercept model

I am looking at clustered data and because I was trained in economics I tend to look at fixed effects and random effects as solutions. An alternative would clearly be multi-level modelling. However, ...

### What is the best technique for panel regressions (ols, fixed, between, random effects)?

I have panel data which includes American states (1-48) and years (1900-1917). All the variables are time-varying with one exception. This exception is time invariant and a three level categorical ...

### Conditional logistic regression vs GLMM in R

I have paired data (GWAS case/control study) and I have heard using conditional logistic regression or generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) is appropriate. Which should I use in this case? Why would ...

### Can a variable be included in a mixed model as a fixed effect and as a random effect at the same time?

I am building a mixed model, where the same 4 groups are tested repeatedly 5 weeks on the measure M. I want to test the effect of group on the measure M. Can I build a model as following (let's say ...

### Longitudinal data: baseline effect versus random intercept

The variable $Y$ is measured at time points $t_1$, $\ldots$, $t_9$ for each of five objects. Also available for each object is the value of $Y$ at time $t_0 = 0$ (baseline). Thus, the sample size is \$...

### Meaning of “Pre-Post estimation model”

The model given just looks like a time series panel data with added controls but then I noticed that there was only one constant (so not a Fixed Effects Model) and but the error term changes between ...
