Question: For the balanced random-intercept linear mixed model (9.8) based on conditional independence given the random effect (Section 9.2.1), show that ???? = ( XTV1X )1
For the balanced random-intercept linear mixed model (9.8) based on conditional independence given the random effect (Section 9.2.1), show that
????̃ = (
XTV−1X
)−1 XTV−1y simplifies to the ordinary least squares estimator, (
XTX
)−1 XTy; i.e., with compound symmetry, observations do not need weights. (Diggle et al. (2002, p. 63) showed that ordinary least squares can have poor efficiency; however, when a model instead has autoregressive error structure with a time-varying explanatory variable.)
