[R-sig-ME] Mixed model vs GEE

[Tahsin Ferdous]

Hi all,


I am analyzing repeated measures data. Both the mixed model and generalized
estimating equation are appropriate for my data. In this case, how can I
decide that which one is better (LMM or GEE)? I know that GEE is a *marginal
model*. It seeks to model a population average. Mixed-effect/Multilevel
models are *subject-specific*, or *conditional*, models. Thanks.


Best,

Tahsin
