This package provides some machine learning methods for longitudinal and clustered data based on the classic generalized linear mixed effect model, classification and regression trees, model based recursive partitioning trees, and generalized boosted machines. A boosted version of the linear mixed effect model of the lme4 package is also implemented.
- a data mining approach
- non-linear assumption of fixed-effects
- can improve prediction accuracy
- interpretation
Install via devtools:
> devtools::install_github("nguforche/MEgbm")Package is still very experimental and not for public use!
