  <dc:title>Mixed-Effects Models with Autocorrelation Structures</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package MEMWAS version 0.9.3</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Fits longitudinal generalized mixed-effects models through the
    'MEMWAS' interface and a registered 'C++' numerical backend. Supported
    serial covariance structures include first-order autoregressive (AR(1)),
    exponential or Ornstein-Uhlenbeck, higher-order autoregressive (AR(p)),
    first-order autoregressive moving-average (ARMA(1,1)), compound symmetry,
    Toeplitz, and unstructured covariance. Serial processes can be unified or
    attached independently to numeric predictor loadings. Candidate temporal
    structures
    can be ranked on a common sample by primary-cluster grouped
    cross-validation, the Akaike information criterion, the Bayesian
    information criterion, or log-likelihood. Clustered, crossed, and
    nested random intercepts and slopes are assembled jointly with diagonal or
    term-specific unstructured covariance. Available approximation methods
    include Laplace, saddlepoint likelihood with latent Laplace integration,
    adaptive Gaussian quadrature, full-covariance Gaussian variational
    inference, and penalized quasi-likelihood. Subject-grouped tuning requires
    every validation fold to succeed and supports fold-local nonlinear
    screening, bootstrap inference, prediction inference, and effective degrees
    of freedom for penalized information criteria. The mixed-effects framework
    follows Laird and Ware (1982) &lt;doi:10.2307/2529876&gt;; generalized-model
    approximations follow Breslow and Clayton (1993)
    &lt;doi:10.1080/01621459.1993.10594284&gt;; and serial covariance formulations
    follow Pinheiro and Bates (2000) &lt;doi:10.1007/b98882&gt;. The run-time
    fitting interface imports no third-party 'R' packages.</dc:description>
