  Linear mixed-effects models are a powerful tool for modeling longitudinal data and are widely used in practice.For a given set of covariates in a linear mixed-effects model, selecting the covariance structure of random effects is an important problem.In this paper, we develop a joint likelihood-based selection criterion.Our criterion is the approximately unbiased estimator of the expected Kullback-Leibler information.
