Motivated by better modeling of intra-individual variability in longitudinal data, we propose a class of location-scale mixed effects models, in which the data of each individual is modeled by a parameter-varying generalized hyperbolic distribution. We first study the local maximum-likelihood asymptotics and reveal the instability in the numerical optimization of the log-likelihood. Then, we construct an asymptotically efficient estimator based on the Newton-Raphson method based on the original log-likelihood function with the initial estimator being naive least-squares-type. Numerical experiments are conducted to show that the proposed one-step estimator is not only theoretically efficient but also numerically much more stable and much less time-consuming compared with the maximum-likelihood estimator.
