Abstract:

In research of linear mixed models, selection between nonnested models (differing in both mean and covariance structure) has been an area that remains unaddressed. In previous research, the Extended Information Criterion (EIC) has been shown to perform as well, or better, than the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) for comparing nonnested linear mixed models using small-sample data. We assess the performance of the EIC using data from a large-sample longitudinal study of elderly subjects - the North Carolina Established Populations for the Epidemiological Study of the Elderly (NC EPESE).
