Mixed linear models (MLM) are flexible models for the analysis of complexdesigns data made across many disciplines of the social sciences. It is therefore important to develop statistical tools to estimate and test thesemodels. MLM are used whenever several measurements are made on one particular unit or subject or cluster, or even nested clusters. Their particularity, which makes them also more difficult to understand and analyze, is that they include random effects that capture the variability of the clusters. Although the literature has already provided a great amount of statistical procedures, there are some important aspects that still need to be developed. In particular, more or less automatic model selection procedures, especially for the number and nature of the random effects to introduce in the model, as well a correct response prediction when the normality assumption underlying MLM is not fully respected by the data at hand, are needed.The aim of this research project is mainly to develop statistical methods todeal with these issues. We also aim at applying the new development for the analysis of real data sets in the social, economics and psychological sciences and, in order to make this transfer of technology as efficient as possible, we will also provide new functions in the statistical software R.
