For this reason we don’t report uncertainty measures or statistical significance in the results of the simulation. In practice, one may want to use more complex models to make these estimates. For example, one may want to use a model that can pool the epoch estimates with each other via hierarchical modeling (a.k.a.

Using random effects models in prediction problems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

KUEHNEL, and ALI NASIRI AMINI In this post, we give a brief introduction to random effects models, and discuss some of their uses. Through simulation we illustrate issues with model fitting techniques that depend on matrix factorization. Random effects models are a useful tool for both exploratory analyses and prediction problems.
