Contrast coding for linear mixed-effects models (Frequentist method)

Yair Haendler (LLF)
Contrast coding for linear mixed-effects models (Frequentist method)

Topics:

• Different types of contrasts – what information they give and how they affect the results.
• How to interpret the model output under different contrast coding.
• How to choose the right contrast coding for your variables.
• Do it your own way – specifying contrast coding tailored according to your needs.

Requisites: Participation in the previous workshop “Linear mixed-effects models in R – Frequentist method (lme4 package)”; otherwise, theoretical knowledge of, and practical experience working with, linear mixed-effects models.
