Fixed Effects or Mixed Effects Classifiers? Evidence From Simulated and Archival Data.

This study seeks to compare fixed and mixed effects models for the purposes of predictive classification in the presence of multilevel data. The first part of the study utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation to compare fixed and mixed effects logistic regression and random forests. An applied examination...

      ab: This study seeks to compare fixed and mixed effects models for the purposes of predictive classification in the presence of multilevel data. The first part of the study utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation to compare fixed and mixed effects logistic regression and random forests. An applied examination of the prediction of student retention in the public-use U.S. PISA data set was considered to verify the simulation findings. Results of this study indicate fixed effects models performed comparably with mixed effects models across both the simulation and PISA examinations. Results broadly suggest that researchers should be cognizant of the type of predictors and data structure being used, as these factors carried more weight than did the model type.
