ABSTRACT
With Part I’s theory and methods in hand, each chapter in Part II does three things: introduces a class of richly parameterized models, shows how to express it as a mixed linear model, and uses that expression to make some observations. Each class of models has a large literature and my observations are not intended to be an exhaustive consideration in light of the mixed-linear-model re-expression; for one thing, not enough is known to give an exhaustive consideration. Rather, my observations are intended to present some specific points and to give a sense of the fertility of insight made available by the mixed-linear-model formulation. Each chapter also refers forward to chapters in Parts III and IV in which the mixed-linear-model formulation is used as a vehicle to explore some mysterious, inconvenient, or plainly wrong result obtained using the chapter’s class of models to analyze data.
