Although this might be slightly the wrong place, but does anyone know of a good reference for mixed models in statistics?

@JordiGH Three days seems to be the norm for my phone. Having said that it probably would be better without Bluetooth and WiFi on all the time.

@kwarrtz Well the staff still get Mathematica so I have my copy on the computers already.

@kwarrtz lucky they still do... Mine is trying to replace it with Wolfram Alpha Pro *shivers*

So its mid semester break and all I have to do is mark about 400 exam papers, 100 reports (from two courses), write class examples and solutions for another, do the data analysis for a paper on not giving students what they want and recode two modules.

Yeah "break"...
