Introduction to Linear Mixed Effects Models
More often than not, biological experiments involve repeated measures. The distinctions between biological and technical replicates become less clear in these scenarios. Standard statistical tests like t-tests and ANOVA are not applicable. Instead, analysis of such data requires more sophisticated approaches, such as Linear Mixed Effect Modeling. In this course, you will learn the motivation for the use of these models, the underlying description and assumptions behind them, example scenarios where they can be used, and code to implement and interpret these models in R.
