Duplication research studies take some published research and then repeat it under identical scenario and check if the results obtained are same as in the original research study.

The linear mixed model, therefore, provides the flexibility to model not only the mean of a response variable, but its covariance structure as well. In other words, it is an extension of the general linear model, in which factors and covariates are assumed to […]
