Great explanation! I find interesting that in this explanation it may be implied that random effects models (aka multilevel or mixed effects models) may be favoured to fixed effect ones, which instead through a lot of information away. Some researchers especially in econometrics instead would make the distinction between FE and RE models (rather than random and fixed effects) and favour fixed effects
From the econometrics viewpoint, the main issue and reason of unpopularity of RE in the discipline is a very strong assumption of zero covariance between individual- and group-level variables. Highly unrealistic in the wild, highly important for consistency of the estimator.
Good data allows organizations to establish baselines, benchmarks, and goals to keep moving forward. Because data allows you to measure, you will be able to establish baselines, find benchmarks and set performance goals. A baseline is what a certain area looks like before a particular solution is implemented.
sad truth is that I did mixed models once for a publication and one of the reviewers said the statistics section is hard to understand and not common, so i should use anova instead... cheers to the standards of nowadays science edit: After submitting to a journal in another field where I knew from a colleague that the standards in statistics are a little higher, I had no problems anymore.
That is why we have many independent variables to capture the random effect.. but what i was expecting how these fixed vs random effecting impacting the model.. where we already tried using many independent variables
Hi Sir, if Hausman test indicates that fixed model is more appropriate than random effect model, and if in that case, in data time period (T) > cross section units (N), which FEM is to be chosen: time (T) FEM or Cross section (N) FEM?
Hey! thank you so much for this explanation it was truly helpful. I was wondering if you could answer a question I had about the topic. What if you wrongly assume a factor to be of random effect how would that affect your results if at all?
You talk about dependence within individuals. Why can you not include a dummy variable for each individual and, if desired, an interaction of this dummy variable with the covariate? This is a FE model. What is the value in pretending that the individual parameters follow a normal distribution (when they might not)?
Hi Chris, the approach you describe only works if "sphericity" is satisfied, for which you need equal variation on the dependent variable for each cluster (each individual in this case). While Mauchly's test tries to identify whether sphericity is violated, a mixed model assigning a random effect to the clustering variable avoids this requirement
Firstly, i would like to thanks for you interesting study, my data have two land uses(exclosure and non exclosure) with three site in each land use how to arrange my data and make analysis using liner mixed effect model
I love you Tom, you managed to explain this incredibly important point to me in such an eloquent manner that I finally understand its significance!
love him too
This was fabulous! I really enjoy your style of presenting. It is clear, challenging, and well-crafted.
No! We need the mixed effect model video. This is the clearest explanation I've heard.
Excellent explanation of effects in statistical models! Huge thanks Tom, you are the best!
This is brilliantly done. Wonderful presentation!
Great Video! Please upload the Mixed Effects one

Hi, I'm From Comoros. Thanks for the video, it was crystal clear !!!

Its a major limitation of the peer review process...
Big up the top g Tom, shelling stats like it's Mario Kart. GG
This is really well done! Great job Tom Reader!
Thank you for the explanation, this video was very easy to understand!
Thank you so much for simplyfing such topic.
Amazing explanation! I wonder if the video about mixed models is already out? I could not find it under the youtube page of Univ. of Nottingham...
We found these other videos with Tom Reader ua-cam.com/video/z45LUip6RcI/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/PyNzbDbjs1Y/v-deo.html if they help at all.
Hello!! can one use a fixed effect regression on a cross-sectional dataset, if yes how?
Such a clear explanation! Very helpful.
Of all the examples to choose from, you choose one that made you overload the word "model"
I loved the video. Thank you Tom!
Hope there was a link to the next video for the mixed model
That is why we have many independent variables to capture the random effect.. but what i was expecting how these fixed vs random effecting impacting the model.. where we already tried using many independent variables
Extremely good video, Mr. Reader. Thank you so much.
Really clear explanation! Thank you!
Thanks Tom. Great explanation
Great Lectures. Many thanks. Is there a sequel into explaining more about Mixed models
Hi Sir, if Hausman test indicates that fixed model is more appropriate than random effect model, and if in that case, in data time period (T) > cross section units (N), which FEM is to be chosen: time (T) FEM or Cross section (N) FEM?
Thank you for this clear explanation!
Such a great explanation and I finally understood this importing thing
Sir, please give the lectures in written form also
Excellent video and crystal clear explanation

Very clear explanation . Thankyou !
Very clearly explained, cheers
Great video! Well explained, thank you. I wonder if at 6:00 it is going about the random effects and not bias measurement? Thanks!
What an awesome video! Thank you!
great presentation!
Superb , lucid presentation on an all too often neglected topic in stats.
can "nurse" be treated as a random effects if there are only 2 nurses?
Great theoretical background
What an excelent video, thank you very much
Fantastic! Thank you!
very well explained
Thx Tom, great explaination :) and well pronounced btw!
That was very clear. Thanks a lot!
Thank you very much, sir
Thank you so much!
very good
