"The book focuses on data-driven modeling and design processes, and it provides a context for extending traditional linear model thinking to generalised linear mixed modeling. This is a very sound text which teachers of any course on GLMMs should consider adopting."
―Erkki P. Liski, International Statistical Review (2013), 81
"Walter Stroup is a leading authority on GLMMs for applied statisticians, especially as implemented in the SAS programming environment. He offers a thorough, engaging, and opinionated treatment of the subject ... I found the ‘fully general’ GLMM approach to modeling and design issues (Chapters 1 and 2) to be quite illuminating. ... it is best to use this text in conjunction with SAS. Prospective readers without current access to SAS will be pleased to know that a reasonable level of access to SAS is now available at no cost to students and teachers on the web ... If the reader prefers to work with GLMMs in the free, powerful, and state-of-the-art R environment, then he/she should supplement this text with some others that are built around R. I myself had good luck using Stroup’s text along with Julian Faraway’s two books Linear Models with R and Expanding the Linear Model with R, both published by CRC Press."

"... for SAS users concerned with the analysis of trials, it is a very good resource. There are excellent discussions on many important concepts such as likelihood ratio testing and model selection criteria. PROC GLIMMIX is a powerful procedure implementing the rich family of GLMMs, and this book gives coverage to a wide variety of models with ample software illustration."
