Biography

Brady T. West

". . . this book is perfect for readers who are looking for a quick reference to all kinds of situations in which LMMs are to be used. In the opinion of the reviewer, either this book or the Gałecki and Burzykowski (2013) book are a must for the practical statistician working with R. And the reviewer finds it helpful to have both on the shelf. For readers with a great need to incorporate novel data visualization approaches in their analyses and the need to improve result interpretation, the third edition is clearly superior to the second edition."
~ Andreas Ziegler, Biometrics Journal

"This book will definitively help researchers and statisticians reach a deeper understanding of linear mixed models and provides them with the resources to perform a proper analysis whatever their statistical software of choice."
