Background
Mixed-effects models very popular across wide range ofapplications, e.g., longitudinal or repeated measures dataarising from clinical trials; hierarchical or clustered dataarising from observational studies (Brown & Prescott 2006;Verbeke & Molenberghs 2000)
Motivations: better estimates of uncertainty; borrowingstrength; modeling variability between and within groups;irregularly spaced time points, missing dataFixed effects describe the mean structure while randomeffects account for the association structure in the data andlead to estimates of subject-specific profiles.

Differential variability for population subgroups
Standard mixed model does not account for differentialvariability across population subgroups
Treatment growth curves may exhibit higher variability if thetreatment worked very well on some subjects and poorlyon others; lower variability if treatment depresses outcomevariable to some common lower boundQuestion: Stratify random effect variance and/or residualerror variance?

Stratified random effects variance
Yi = Xiβ +Zibi + εi
Var(bi) = Dk , k = 1,2
Intuition: if one instead estimates common random effectsvariance, estimate will lie between stratified estimates
Common random effect variance will be downward biasedfor the high variance group and upward biased for the lowvariance groupWhy is bias in the random effect variance estimatesimportant?
