Hi,
I am trying to set up a 3 level model in MLwiN. However the drop down box in the equations window only allows a one or two level model. I have have not been able to find a reason for this. I am using an international PhD student licence.

thanks
Shane

I have just encountered this issue also. Can I recommend that Snijders & Bosker 2012 Multilevel Analysis p. 307 provides a good explanation of this. Also, Bauer 2009, 'A note on comparing the estimates of models for cluster-correlated or longitudinal data with binary or ordinal outcomes' provide...

I have a question about interpreting changes in coefficient values between logistic multilevel models. I would like to see if an apparent contextual effect (level 2 coefficient) is explained by compositional factors (level 1 coefficients). My planned modelling strategy is to set up a model with leve...

Thanks for your response. Yes, the outcome is dichotomous. This leaves the question of why a level 2 coefficient is interpreted differently in two different modeling programs that are ostensibly doing the same thing. I have been unable to get an adequate explanation for this.

Hi, I currently move between MLwiN and Mplus software. I have become confused about the interpretation of level 2 regression co-efficients in MLwiN. My understanding is that with a logistic multilevel model the coefficient values for level 2 variables (contextual independent variables) should be int...

Great! Thanks, will have a look and keep an eye out.

Ok, first question... Firstly, congratulations on Stat-JR. I am still trying to get my head around it, but it seems a remarkably farsighted piece of software. I have been waiting on the the release particularly as I need to run multiple imputation for missing data on a large ML model. In REALCOM it ...

I have resized the virtual disc and the problem disappeared. Thanks for your help.

Hi, I have recently done some work trying to resize my virtual disc (I am running virtualbox on a mac). I have gone back to open some worksheets and have encountered an error message 'Error -1 decompressing file(ZRET)'. I have tried importing some saved backup versions of these worksheets and have e...

OK, thanks for your advice. I will keep an eye out for the STATJR release.
