Dear all,

Can we use unbalanced data for the mixed model with nested random effects?

Best,

Yes.

There will of course be greater uncertainty for conditions/groups with
less data.

The best way to see how this impacts your inference is to simulate
balanced and unbalanced data for your hypothesis and look at the
difference in estimates, standard errors, etc.
