Introduction to mixed-effects models using R

[5 half days] - [starts on 19-05-2025 at 09:30] - [English] - [Louvain-la-Neuve]

Does your data carry a complex structure that does not allow the use of traditional models ? Maybe do they feature random factors or repeated measures ? Time to switch to the mixed-effects models !

Mixed models are a family of models with both fixed and random effects. They make it possible to take into account the correlation between several observations, in particular the temporal aspect of the data.
