Linear Mixed Model (LMM) is an extended regression method that is used for longitudinal data which has repeated measures within the individual. It is natural to expect high correlation between these repeats over a period of time for the same individual. Since classical approaches may fail to cover these correlations, LMM handles this significant concern by introducing random effect terms in the model. Besides its flexible structure in terms of modeling, LMM has several application areas such as clinical trials, genetics, neurosciences, economy, etc. However, the statistical inference procedure of the model may not always generate closed form solutions of the parameter estimations. Therefore, a large number of estimation techniques and computational strategies are adapted in LMM such as Expectation Maximization algorithm. Also, even the main inferential tool is likelihood method for the LMM, the implementation of the method may change depending on the data structure (balanced/unbalanced), covariance structure or the distributional assumptions. It is possible to see these methods in many different sources, but it is not always easy to see which one will be used in what kind of situations and in what direction the results will change. In this study, we systematically categorize these algorithms and compare them in terms of efficiency and time for longitudinal data sets.

Implementation of different algorithms in linear mixed models: case studies with TIMSS Koca, Burcu; Gökalp Yavuz, Fulya; Department of Statistics (2021-9-06) Mixed models are frequently used in longitudinal data types with time repetition over the same subject and clustered data types formed by observations gathered around certain groups. The modeling technique which models the dependency structure between repetitions and observations in the same cluster is required to use algorithms for parameter estimations. The same model can be solved with various algorithms arising from setup, inference and approach differences. In this study, several algorithms used for LM...
Performance comparisons of seismic assessment methods with PSD test results of a deficient RC frame Ozcebe, G.; KURT, ELİF; Binici, Barış; Kurç, Özgür; Canbay, Erdem; Akpinar, U. (2009-12-01) The accuracy of estimating the performance levels of a deficient RC frame using linear elastic and nonlinear dynamic analysis is evaluated in this study. This was achieved by comparing the response of a structure tested with pseudo-dynamic testing and estimated by the linear elastic assessment procedures along with nonlinear dynamic analysis. The test structure (three bay-two storey planar frame) is a 1/2 scale reinforced concrete frame having masonry infill walls in the central span. The test frame contain...
Analysis Window Length Selection For Linear Signal Models Yazar, Alper; Candan, Çağatay (2015-05-19) A method is presented for the selection of analysis window length, or the number of input samples, for linear signal modeling without compromising the model assumptions. It is assumed that the signal of interest lies in a known linear space and noisy samples of the signal is provided. The goal is to use as many signal samples as possible to mitigate the effect of noise without violating the assumptions on the model. An application example is provided to illustrate the suggested method.
Linear parameter varying control for autonomous systems: methods and application examples Çalış, Fatih; Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-8-24) Linear parameter varying (LPV) systems are nonlinear systems which can be modelled as linear systems whose parameters change as a function of different "scheduling parameters". In other words, the dynamics of the LPV systems change during the operation hence they require a parameter dependent controller. Although classical gain-scheduling approaches satisfy some performance criteria for constant dynamics, they don't guarantee stability while the scheduling parameter is changing. On the other hand, H∞-norm b...
ON FOUNDATIONS OF PARAMETER ESTIMATION FOR GENERALIZED PARTIAL LINEAR MODELS WITH B-SPLINES AND CONTINUOUS OPTIMIZATION TAYLAN, PAKİZE; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Liu, Lian (2010-02-04) Generalized linear models are widely-used statistical techniques. As an extension, generalized partial linear models utilize semiparametric methods and augment the usual parametric terms by a single nonparametric component of a continuous covariate. In this paper, after a short introduction, we present our model in the generalized additive context with a focus on penalized maximum likelihood and on the penalized iteratively reweighted least squares (P-IRLS) problem based on B-splines which is attractive for...
