changed "random factors" to "random effects" for consistency as discussed in the comments by a user and the OP

May 9, 2017 at 16:26 comment added Weiwen Ng @RobinKramer My bad, I failed to note the date! That said, I still think there is some confusion here. Do you have repeated measures on the individuals? If so, then you should probably include a random intercept by person. If you're interested in the effect of gender on the DV, then you would probably only need to model it as a normal covariate. Some would say model it as a fixed effect (because you're treating its effect on the DV as fixed). Treating gender as a random effect would really be ontologically confusing.
May 9, 2017 at 15:55 comment added Robin Kramer-ten Have @WeiwenNg the question is rather old, but I was used to use LME regressions in which I placed variables, in which I was not interested (but did have an effect on the DV), as random effects. I attempted to do the same with this project.
May 9, 2017 at 15:24 comment added Weiwen Ng @RobinKramer Please clarify what you think you mean by random effects. When statisticians say random effects, they usually want to account for clustering among different observations. For example, say you had repeated measures on the same individuals, so each obs is one person at a certain time, and you had 4 observations per person. You arguably should fit a random effects model; each person has a person-specific random effect (usually assumed to be from a normal distribution). When you say gender, smoking, etc, those can usually be modeled as fixed effects. So, what do you mean?
