Multilevel and Longitudinal Modeling Using Stata Fourth Edition is a complete resource for learning to model data in which observations are grouped—whether those groups are formed by a nesting structure such as children nested in classrooms or formed by repeated observations on the same individuals. This text introduces random-effects models fixed-effects models mixed-effects models marginal models dynamic models and growth-curve models all of which account for the grouped nature of these types of data. As Rabe-Hesketh and Skrondal introduce each model they explain when the model is useful its assumptions how to fit and evaluate the model using Stata and how to interpret the results. With this comprehensive coverage researchers who need to apply multilevel models will find this book to be the perfect companion. It is also the ideal text for courses in multilevel modeling because it provides examples from a variety of disciplines as well as end-of-chapter exercises that allow students to practice newly learned material. The book comprises two volumes. Volume I focuses on linear models for continuous outcomes while volume II focuses on generalized linear models for binary ordinal count and other types of outcomes. | Multilevel and Longitudinal Modeling Using Stata Volumes I and II
