Abstract

Ecological Momentary Assessment data present some new modeling opportunities. Typically, there are sufficient data to explicitly model the within-subject (WS) variance, and in many applications, it is of interest to allow the WS variance to depend on covariates as well as random subject effects. We describe a model that allows multiple random effects per subject in the mean model (eg, random location intercept and slopes), as well as random scale in the error variance model. We present an example of the use of this model on a real dataset and a simulation study that shows the benefit of this model, relative to simpler approaches.
