Handbook of Advanced Multilevel Analysis

摘要

Multilevel analysis is the statistical modelling of hierarchical and non-hierarchical clustered data. These data structures are common in social and medical sciences. This handbook is an edited volume on multilevel analysis with 17 chapters contributed by a range of distinguished researchers, including Goldstein, Hedeker, Hox, Kenny, Muthen and Vermunt.Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this handbook is its focus on a range of non-standard multilevel analysis topics such as structural equation modelling (SEM), item response theory, mixture models and dyadic data analysis.
