Description
Data Transforming Augmentation for Linear Mixed Models.
Description
We provide a toolbox to fit univariate and multivariate linear mixed models via data transforming augmentation. Users can also fit these models via typical data augmentation for a comparison. It returns either maximum likelihood estimates of unknown model parameters (hyper-parameters) via an EM algorithm or posterior samples of those parameters via MCMC. Also see Tak et al.
