### What is a difference between random effects-, fixed effects- and marginal model?

I am trying to expand my knowledge of statistics. I come from a physical sciences background with a "recipe based" approach to statistical testing, where we say is it continuous, is it normally ...

### Interpretation of Fixed Effects from Mixed Effect Logistic Regression

I am confused by statements at a UCLA webpage about mixed effects logistic regression. They show a table of fixed effects coefficients from fitting such a model and the first paragraph belows seems to ...

### 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 ...

### Conditional vs. Marginal models

I have data with an outcome of 0 or 1 (binary) representing success or failure. I also have two comparison groups (Treatment vs. Control). Each subject in the study contributed 2 observations (the ...

### Subject specific vs population average predictions

I am in doubt whether in my thesis I should report on the subject specific predictions of the probability to respond with an 'I don't know' answer, or the population average. Consider for example the ...

### Random slope and intercept correlation. Not consistent in output vs manual calculation

Lets say individuals are nested within each ID and I am trying to a predict level 1 outcome Y from a level 1 predictor X with random slopes and intercepts. Using the nlme package in R, I ran the ...

### Why is the estimated variance of a random effect not equal to the variance of its BLUP estimates? [duplicate]

I am learning mixed effect model from here. I built a simplified model and trying to extract the $\gamma$ vector from linear mixed effect model $$y=X\beta+Z\gamma+\epsilon$$ then calculate ...
