Dear all,=20
just a short question:
What is the best (or the first on should try, or the most common) model for interindividual variance of the exponent (gamma) of the sigmoid Emax model? Gamma+ETA(x) or should one take gamma *EXP(Eta(x)) ?
Thanx in advance
Regards
Jorn Lotsch

Unless you have exquisite data and lots of it per person (in which case, you probably don't need a hierarchical mdoel), I would not allow gamma to vary betweeen individuals.
