Abstract:Traditionally, spline or kernel approaches in combination with parametric estimation are used to infer the linear coefficient (fixed effects) in a partially linear mixedeffects model (PLMM) for repeated measurements. Using machine learning algorithms allows us to incorporate more complex interaction structures and high-dimensional variables. We employ double machine learning to cope with the nonparametric part of the PLMM: the nonlinear variables are regressed out nonparametrically from both the linear variabl… Show more
