The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) is a widely used psychometric scale to measure positive and negative affect. This study uses GLOBEM mobile sensing data from the Pyhsionet database to analyze the Positive and Negative Affect Schedules (PANAS) scores. For this analysis, classical statistical methods such as marginal and linear mixed models and machine learning approaches, including MERF, MERT, and REEMtree, along with their stochastic variants, are used. Our results indicate that models incorporating random effect terms outperform the marginal model. In particular, as shown by the R2 results, MERF shows the best prediction performance on the training dataset, while (S)MERF performs well on the test dataset. These results suggest that individual traits substantially impact future emotional states more than factors such as sleep, physical activity, and phone use.
