Scale Mixture of Normal Distribution in Linear Mixed-Effects Model
Bayesian analysis of censored linear mixed-effects models that replace Gaussian assumptions with a flexible class of distributions, such as the scale mixture of normal family distributions, considering a damped exponential correlation structure which was employed to account for within-subject autocorrelation among irregularly observed measures.
