Mixed Effects Models involve measurements made over time on an individual in an experiment. This book presents the most recent techniques for analyzing this type of data in the statistical software program S-PLUS. It will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in statistics, biostatistics, and epidemiology.

This book provides an overview of the theory and application of linear and nonlinear mixed-effects models in the analysis of grouped data, such as longitudinal data, repeated measures, and multilevel data.
