Attacking Clustered Data with a Mixed Effects Random Forests Model in Python - Sourav Dey

PyData LA 2018
Clustered data is all around us. The best way to attack it? Mixed effect models. Sourav will explain the use cases of MERF, how the mixed effects random forests model marries the world of classical mixed effect modeling with modern machine learning algorithms, and how it can be extended to be used with other advanced modeling techniques like gradient boosting machines and deep learning.

That's really really great! Is it possible to use longitudinal repeated measures from several biomarkers from individual patients using patients as random effects/clusters?
