Examples of random effect model in the following topics:
-
- Random effects models are used when the treatments are not fixed.
- A mixed-effects model contains experimental factors of both fixed and random-effects types, with appropriately different interpretations and analysis for the two types.
- The fixed-effects model would compare a list of candidate texts.
- The random-effects model would determine whether important differences exist among a list of randomly selected texts.
- Differentiate one-way, factorial, repeated measures, and multivariate ANOVA experimental designs; single and multiple factor ANOVA tests; fixed-effect, random-effect and mixed-effect models

- The assumption of unit-treatment additivity implies that for every treatment $j$, the $j$th treatment has exactly the same effect $t_j$ on every experiment unit.
- Kempthorne uses the randomization-distribution and the assumption of unit-treatment additivity to produce a derived linear model, very similar to the one-way ANOVA discussed previously.
- The test statistics of this derived linear model are closely approximated by the test statistics of an appropriate normal linear model, according to approximation theorems and simulation studies.
- In summary, the normal model based ANOVA analysis assumes the independence, normality and homogeneity of the variances of the residuals.
- Both these analyses require homoscedasticity, as an assumption for the normal model analysis and as a consequence of randomization and additivity for the randomization-based analysis.
-
- Of these studies, 63% were conducted without controls, 29% were conducted with non-randomized controls, and 8% were conducted with randomized controls.
- Random assignment, or random placement, is an experimental technique for assigning subjects to different treatments (or no treatment).
- The thinking behind random assignment is that by randomizing treatment assignments, the group attributes for the different treatments will be roughly equivalent; therefore, any effect observed between treatment groups can be linked to the treatment effect and cannot be considered a characteristic of the individuals in the group.
- Devise a method of randomization that is purely mechanical (e.g. flip a coin).
- More advanced statistical modeling can be used to adapt the inference to the sampling method.

- Familiar examples of processes modeled as stochastic time series include stock market and exchange rate fluctuations; signals such as speech, audio and video; medical data such as a patient's EKG, EEG, blood pressure or temperature; and random movement such as Brownian motion or random walks.

- A random walk is a mathematical formalization of a path that consists of a succession of random steps.
- For example, the path traced by a molecule as it travels in a liquid or a gas, the search path of a foraging animal, the price of a fluctuating stock, and the financial status of a gambler can all be modeled as random walks, although they may not be truly random in reality.
- Thus, the random walk serves as a fundamental model for recorded stochastic activity.
-
- The statistical test, though, is just a global test of difference from random distribution.
- Instead, 5000 trials with random permutations of the presence and absence of ties between pairs of actors have been run, and estimated standard errors calculated from the resulting simulated sampling distribution.
- The block model of group differences only accounts for 4.3% of the variance in pair-wise ties; however, permutation trials suggest that this is not a random result (p = .001).
- So, although the model of constant homophily does not predict individual's ties at all well, there is a notable overall homophily effect.
- The (non-significant) regression coefficients show density (or the probability of a tie between two random actors) in the periphery as .27, and the density in the "Core" as .12 less than this.
-
- Random intercepts model.
- Random slopes model.
- A random slopes model is a model in which slopes are allowed to vary; therefore, the slopes are different across groups.
- Random intercepts and slopes model.
- A model that includes both random intercepts and random slopes is likely the most realistic type of model; although, it is also the most complex.
-
- Randomization: Random assignment is the process of assigning individuals at random to groups or to different groups in an experiment.
- Random does not mean haphazard, and great care must be taken that appropriate random methods are used.
- These are efficient at evaluating the effects and possible interactions of several factors (independent variables).
- Analysis of experiment design is built on the foundation of the analysis of variance, a collection of models that partition the observed variance into components, according to what factors the experiment must estimate or test.
- In the most basic model, cause ($X$) leads to effect ($Y$).
-
- Completely randomized designs study the effects of one primary factor without the need to take other nuisance variables into account.
- In the design of experiments, completely randomized designs are for studying the effects of one primary factor without the need to take into account other nuisance variables.
- In complete random design, the run sequence of the experimental units is determined randomly.
- An example of a completely randomized design using the three numbers is:
- Discover how randomized experimental design allows researchers to study the effects of a single factor without taking into account other nuisance variables.
-
- We use probability to build tools to describe and understand apparent randomness.
- Random processes include rolling a die and flipping a coin. ( a) Think of another random process.
- What we think of as random processes are not necessarily random, but they may just be too difficult to understand exactly.
- However, even if a roommate's behavior is not truly random, modeling her behavior as a random process can still be useful.
- It can be helpful to model a process as random even if it is not truly random.
-
- If independent variables $A$ and $B$ are both correlated with $Y$, and $A$ and $B$ are highly correlated with each other, only one may contribute significantly to the model, but it would be incorrect to blindly conclude that the variable that was dropped from the model has no biological importance.
- All four independent variables are highly correlated in children, since older children are taller, heavier, and more literate, so it's possible that once you've added weight and age to the model, there is so little variation left that the effect of height is not significant.
- Because reading ability is correlated with age, it's possible that it would contribute significantly to the model; this might suggest some interesting followup experiments on children all of the same age, but it would be unwise to conclude that there was a real effect of reading ability and vertical leap based solely on the multiple regression.
