Hybrid models were found to be very elegant to disentangle longitudinal within and between subject relationships.
Journal of Clinical Epidemiology 2018 November 28
OBJECTIVES: The interpretation of a regression coefficient obtained from a longitudinal data analysis is a combination of a within subject part and a between subject part. The hybrid model is used to disentangle the two components. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate and discuss the use of the hybrid model in epidemiological studies.
STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: In the hybrid model, the between subject part of the relationship is obtained by using the individual mean value over time, while the within subject part is obtained by using the deviation score, i.e. the differences between the observations and the individual mean value.
RESULTS: It was shown that the regression coefficient of a standard mixed model analysis is a sort of weighted average of the between and within subject part of the relationship. When the outcome was continuous, the separate analyses to estimate the two components of a longitudinal relationship were equal to the estimation in the hybrid model. However, for dichotomous outcome the estimations were slightly different.
CONCLUSION: The hybrid model is an elegant, easy to perform method to disentangle the within and between subject part of a relationship in longitudinal studies.
