A Diagnostic for Bias in Linear Mixed Model Estimators Induced by Dependence Between the Random Effects and the Corresponding Model Matrix

Andrew T. Karl, Dale L. Zimmerman

We explore how violations of the often-overlooked standard assumption that the random effects model matrix in a linear mixed model is fixed (and thus independent of the random effe…

Avoiding Bias Due to Nonrandom Scheduling When Modeling Trends in Home-Field Advantage

Andrew T. Karl

Existing approaches for estimating home-field advantage (HFA) include modeling the difference between home and away scores as a function of the difference between home and away tea…

A Correlated Random Effects Model for Nonignorable Missing Data in Value-Added Assessment of Teacher Effects

Andrew T. Karl, Yan Yang, Sharon L. Lohr

Value-added models have been widely used to assess the contributions of individual teachers and schools to students' academic growth based on longitudinal student achievement outco…

Computation of Maximum Likelihood Estimates for Multiresponse Generalized Linear Mixed Models with Non-nested, Correlated Random Effects

Andrew T. Karl, Yan Yang, Sharon L. Lohr

Estimation of generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) with non-nested random effects structures requires approximation of high-dimensional integrals. Many existing methods are tail…

Efficient Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Multiple Membership Linear Mixed Models, with an Application to Educational Value-Added Assessments

Andrew T. Karl, Yan Yang, Sharon L. Lohr

The generalized persistence (GP) model, developed in the context of estimating ``value added'' by individual teachers to their students' current and future test scores, is one of t…

The Sensitivity of College Football Rankings to Several Modeling Choices

Andrew T. Karl

This paper proposes a multiple-membership generalized linear mixed model for ranking college football teams using only their win/loss records. The model results in an intractable,…
