Davis, University of Georgia, Griffin Campus Analysis of variance rests on three basic assumptions: response variables are normally distributed, individual observations are independent and the variances between experimental units are homogeneous. Data from agricultural experiments do not always follow these assumptions. Traditional analysis of variance techniques are very robust, so some deviation from these assumptions does not necessarily lead to erroneous results, and the Central Limit Theorem implies that data from experiments with many observations have means that are approximately normal.

Mar 27, 2018 · Linear mixed models (LMM) are for normally distributed (Gaussian) data and can model random and / or repeated effects. The mixed procedure fits these models. Generalized linear models (GLM) are for non-normal data and only model fixed effects. SAS procedures logistic, genmod1 and others fit these models. Generalized linear mixed models (GLMM ...
