Title: Test Linearity Assumption in Generalized Linear Mixed-Effects Models Versus the Smooth Alternative

Abstract:

Linearity is a common assumption for fitting the generalized linear mixed-effects models. We test this assumption versus the smooth alternatives by fitting a broader class of generalized semiparametric linear mixed-effects model. The Bayesian confidence bands are visually inspected, and approximate p-values are obtained by using the bootstrap method. Simulation results are provided.
