What does a linear Mixed model tell you?
Linear mixed models are an extension of simple linear models to allow both fixed and random effects, and are particularly used when there is non independence in the data, such as arises from a hierarchical structure. For example, students could be sampled from within classrooms, or patients from within doctors.
Why use linear Mixed model?
Linear Mixed Models is used to estimate the effect of different coupons on spending while adjusting for correlation due to repeated observations on each subject over the 10 weeks. Maximum likelihood (ML) and restricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimation.
When to use LMM?
As we concluded previously, LMM should be used when there is some sort of clustering among statistical observations / samples. This can be, for example, due to different geographic locations where the samples were collected, or different experimental protocols that produced the samples.
What do you need to know about linear mixed models?
This page briefly introduces linear mixed models LMMs as a method for analyzing data that are non independent, multilevel/hierarchical, longitudinal, or correlated. We focus on the general concepts and interpretation of LMMS, with less time spent on the theory and technical details.

Is there a Wald test for linear mixed models?
For linear mixed models with little correlation among predictors, a Wald test using the approach of Kenward and Rogers (1997) will be quite similar to LRT test results. The SSCC does not recommend the use of Wald tests for generalized models.
How is the observed coefficient tested in a mixed model?
The observed coefficient is tested against the generated empirical distribution. Since the distributions of coefficients are only approximately asymptotical, two or more of the above are generally done to confirm results of tests that are inconclusive.
