Linear mixed models are increasingly used for the analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of binary phenotypes because they can efficiently and robustly account for population ...

Linear models, generalized linear models, and nonlinear models are examples of parametric regression models because we know the function that describes the relationship between the response and ...

Many response variables are handled poorly by regression models when the errors are assumed to be normally distributed. For example, modeling the state damaged/not damaged of cells after treated with ...

In the early 1970s, statisticians had difficulty in analysing data where the random variation of the errors did not come from the bell-shaped normal distribution. Besides normality, these traditional ...
