This course gives an introduction to linear mixed effects models, also called multi-level models or hierarchical models, for the purposes of using them in your own research or studies.

We emphasise the practical skills and key concepts needed to work with these models, using applied examples and real datasets.

After completing the course, you should have:
* A conceptual understanding of what mixed effects models are, and when they should be used
* Familiarity with fitting and interpreting mixed effects models using the lme4 package in R

''Please note that this course builds on knowledge of linear modelling, therefore should not be considered a general introduction to statistical modelling.''
