description

Panel studies in econometrics as well as longitudinal studies in biomedical applications provide data from a sample of individual units where each unit is observed repeatedly over time (age, etc.). In this context, mixed effect models are often applied to analyze the behavior of a response variable in dependence of a number of covariates. In some important applications it is necessary to assume that individual effects vary over time (age, etc.).
