Description
Complicated models involving latent mixture distributions are becoming more commonly used. Examples include frailty models, linear mixed models and mixture models for joint modelling of survival, longitudinal, or binary outcomes. Diagnostic techniques for assessing the impact and correctness of model assumptions are lacking but necessary for the practical use of such techniques. This session will report on newly developed diagnostic methods and illustrate their use.
