To obtain overall estimates, a random-effects meta-analysis was used to pool the individual ward estimates (22).
Random effects regression models (which estimate a random effect for each ward) were run in Stata11.
The relative importance of the attributes and levels were calculated by estimating a random parameter logit model.
I estimate a random effects model for the errors of different quantiles to see to what extent a single factor captures the unobserved heterogeneity in the distributions.
The pilot survey enabled the definitive survey to be generated by applying an efficient design for estimating a random parameter model.
A detailed description of these variables can be found in Appendix B. We estimate a Random Effects logit model so as to deal with unobserved heterogeneity.
More recently, reference [5] addresses the problem of optimal power allocation to efficiently estimate a random source using distributed wireless sensors equipped with energy harvesting technology.
5As receipt of a disability benefit is an absorbing exit state preventing people from returning to work at a later point, we should estimate a random effects competing risk model with disability benefit as a fourth exit state.
In the other block, they were required to estimate a random angle depicted to the screen.
