Abstract

A linear mixed model version of penalised regression is proposed. We
demonstrate how to estimate the effects and standard errors of a set of intercorrelated explanatory variables by imposing penalties on the regression coefficients by modelling them as random effects. An example is given using correlated weather covariates.
