Running 2-level MLM from variance-covariance matrices
Posted: Thu Aug 25, 2016 11:34 am
Hi All,
My first time posting a question. I have been granted access to a governmental database (with individual-level public data) and can only work with 'raw data' inside this remote government controlled environment. I need to carry out 2 or 3 level MLM and only SAS is made available to me inside this environment. However, I would much prefer to use MLWin on my office desktop as I have more experience with it.
I am able to get clearance for variance-covariance matrices from this government body as such data don't contain personal information.
So, is there any way to carry out MLM with MLWin by reading in variance-covariance matrices? I can do factor analysis in SPSS based on such data.
Sorry if this seems like a silly question; I'm relatively new to MLM etc.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Matt
