Abstract
The learning curves of optimisation algorithms, plotting the evolution of the objective vs. runtime spent, can be viewed as a sample of longitudinal data. In this paper we describe mixed-effects modeling, a standard technique in longitudinal data analysis, and give an example of its application to algorithm performance modeling.
