Generalized linear mixed models or multilevel regression models have become increasingly popular. Several methods have been proposed for estimating such models. However,to date there is no single method that can be assumed to work well in all circumstances in terms of both parameter recovery and...

In statistical practice multicollinearity of predictor variables is rather the rule than the exception and appropriate models are needed to avoid instability of predictions. Feature extraction methods reflect the idea that latent variables not measurable directly are underlying the original...
