Dear all, I'm fitting a mixed effects model which has numerous fixed effects for each of 2 groups. There are also correlated random effects related to the 2 groups, and heteroscedastic within group errors for the 2 groups.
I'm making inferences on the fixed effects for a specific group. Can i call these inferences the "within group fixed effects"? Or, is the "within group" a reserved word. I ask this question because i also want to estimate the random effects. I was tempted, when estimating a random variance component for a specific group, to call it the "within group" random variance component. But I think the random effects are describing "between group" variability and not "within group". Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance. . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
