A question about CCMM with runmlwin

Post by auctor21 »

I am currently analyzing Cross Classified Multiple Membership Growth Curve Model using runmlwin.
And I used Professor Bess Rose's data and runmlwin code for this study.
My question is about ID at Level1.
That is, what code should be used for runmlwin at level 1 and what the structure of the data should be
Bess Rose's runmlwin code is below

runmlwin gpa cons time, ///
level4(firstsch: cons time) level3(subsch1: time) level2(id: cons time)
level1(lev1_id: cons) nopause

Bess used the sign "lev1_id" as the at Level1. But I could not understand the exact data of it.
The first level of data structure Bess Rose has shown for each id gives a variety of values.(refernce. attached file)

In general, in the case of the multi-level growth model, the first level is the measurement point(or occasion), the second level is the individual, and the third level is the group.
If so, should not level 1 be the measurement point, or occation value?

My model is the same as the picture file shown below.(refernce. attached file)

I am writing the following runmlwin code based on my data.

runmlwin dependent cons time, ///
level4(firstsch: cons time) level3(subsch1: time) level2(id: cons time)
level1(???: cons) nopause

What should be the level 1 value(in other words, ???) here?
And What is the actual value of the data?
If each id has 4 viewpoints, is it a value between 0 and 3?
Or should there be a different value?

Can anyone advise please?
Many thanks

Dear Auctor,

The level-1 ID is not actually used by MLwiN, but conceptually the occasion number is the relevant variable to put at the level-1 ID.

Note, you will also need to declare the model to be cross-classified, specify the multiple membership strucutre and weights, and fit the model by MCMC.

See the following

Best wishes

George

Thank you

I would like to ask you a little more specifically.

The files you suggested are basically code for multi-level models.

But what I would like to ask you for....
Could you please provide an example of the code and data of runmlwin in the growth model?

Thank you professor.
