Nonparametric Tests for Random Effects in Linear and Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Models
Overview
Provides nonparametric permutation tests for testing all or any subset of random effects in linear and nonlinear mixed-effects models, without requiring normality or other distributional assumptions on random effects or errors. Three distribution-free variance-component estimators are implemented: Variance Least Squares ('VLS'), Method of Moments ('MM'), and Method of Moments with First-Order Approximation ('MMF'). A permutation procedure is used to obtain finite-sample p-values. Plotting functions support data exploration, model evaluation, and communication of results. Methods are described in Uwimpuhwe, Drikvandi, and Blozis (2026) doi:10.1002/sim.70605.
