Assessment of the cortisol awakening response: Expert consensus guidelines. (2016, background): “…hierarchical models can adequately deal with manifest problems of heteroscedasticity and auto-correlations in the error structure of cortisol data (see also Kudielka et al., 2012) and allow for the simultaneous processing of between- and within-individual information (e.g., Hruschka et al., 2005).”
