Building the school model

You will now built a model to examine what factors predict a student's gain in math knowledge. As described in the video, you will build a model to see:

Does the sex of a student impact their knowledge gain?
Does the teacher's training impact the gain and does the teacher's math knowledge impact the gain?

As part of this model, you will also account for other possible predictors including:

Does a student's math knowledge in kindergarten impact their gain?
Does a school's socio-economic status impact student gains?

The first chapter provides an example of when to use a mixed-effect and also describes the parts of a regression. The chapter also examines a student test-score dataset with a nested structure to demonstrate mixed-effects.

Exercise 12: Interpreting the school model

This chapter providers an introduction to linear mixed-effects models. It covers different types of random-effects, describes how to understand the results for linear mixed-effects models, and goes over different methods for statistical inference with mixed-effects models using crime data from Maryland.

This chapter extends linear mixed-effects models to include non-normal error terms using generalized linear mixed-effects models. By altering the model to include a non-normal error term, you are able to model more kinds of data with non-linear responses. After reviewing generalized linear models, the chapter examines binomial data and count data in the context of mixed-effects models.

This chapter shows how repeated-measures analysis is a special case of mixed-effect modeling. The chapter begins by reviewing paired t-tests and repeated measures ANOVA. Next, the chapter uses a linear mixed-effect model to examine sleep study data. Lastly, the chapter uses a generalized linear mixed-effect model to examine hate crime data from New York state through time.
