[R-sig-ME] Course: Introduction to Linear Mixed Effects Models and GLMM with R-INLA

[Mollie Brooks]

The flyer says "Nested data means multiple observations from the same animal, site, area, nest, patient, hospital, vessel, lake, hive, transect, etc.", but this doesn’t agree with my understanding (https://bbolker.github.io/mixedmodels-misc/glmmFAQ.html#nested-or-crossed <https://bbolker.github.io/mixedmodels-misc/glmmFAQ.html#nested-or-crossed>). What if animals move from one site to another, or patients visit multiple hospitals. I encounter a lot of scientists who have a misconception of the meaning of nested data, so it would be good to be careful when teaching the terminology. Does R-INLA require random effects to be nested? 

Kind regards,
Mollie
