Overview

This course provides an introduction to linear mixed effects modelling.

Please be aware that this course is in development and the contents of this site are likely to change in future.

::: {.callout-tip}

Learning Objectives

  • To understand the motivation for using linear mixed models, and when it is appropriate to include random effects
  • To fit a mixed model to a hierarchical dataset
  • To visualise mixed models
  • To evaluate model fit using significance testing and diagnostic plots :::

Target Audience

This course is aimed primarily at postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the life sciences.

Prerequisites

You should have a working knowledge of R/RStudio, and a grasp of core statistics content, in particular the linear modelling framework.

Exercises

Exercises in these materials are labelled according to their level of difficulty:

Level Description
{{< fa solid star >}} {{< fa regular star >}} {{< fa regular star >}} Exercises in level 1 are simpler and designed to get you familiar with the concepts and syntax covered in the course.
{{< fa solid star >}} {{< fa solid star >}} {{< fa regular star >}} Exercises in level 2 combine different concepts together and apply it to a given task.
{{< fa solid star >}} {{< fa solid star >}} {{< fa solid star >}} Exercises in level 3 require going beyond the concepts and syntax introduced to solve new problems.
