To estimate a bivariate hierarchical linear model (2 dependent variables with 3 levels)
Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2022 9:16 am
Hi there! I'm having trouble estimating a bivariate hierarchical linear model and I'd be super grateful if you could help me.
I want to simultaneously analise the effect of a set of predictors on 2 dependent variables (mathematical competency and reading comprehension), with 3 levels: student, school and area. I really want to do it because I think knowing the covariation of these 2 DV at the 3 levels might be quite interesting.
The thing is: I know what to do to analyse these variables independently (univariate models): model-> equations; Y: dependent variable; N levels: 3, and so on.
But I have no idea how to estimate these two variables, with their 3 levels (student, school, area) simultaneously. I mean, which steps/buttons should I go through?
Many thanks in advance,
Mireia
