A Comparison of Methods for Specifying Optimal Random Effects Structures

Using Monte Carlo simulations, this study compared the performance of various approaches to the specification of random effects structures in linear mixed effects models (LMMs), including the minimal approach, the maximal approach, the forward search, the backward search, and the all-possible struct...
