Relaxation of a constraint / assumption

(4) Independence of observations (within cluster, subject, level)
(1) Gaussian conditional distribution of the response
(2) Gaussian distribution of the random effects
(3) Homoscedasticity (homogeneity of variance)
(7) Conditional distribution of the response (10) No outliers and other distributional issues
comes from the one-parameter exponential family
