glmmnode properties

GLMM node icon A generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) extends the linear model so that the target can have a non-normal distribution, is linearly related to the factors and covariates via a specified link function, and so that the observations can be correlated. GLMM models cover a wide variety of models, from simple linear regression to complex multilevel models for non-normal longitudinal data.

`repeated_ui_measures`	array	The fields specified here are used to identify repeated observations. For example, a single variable Week might identify the 10 weeks of observations in a medical study, or Month and Day might be used together to identify daily observations over the course of a year.
