Practical Multilevel Modeling Using R

by Sophia Rabe-Hesketh, Anders Skrondal • 2008

This textbook looks specifically at Stata's treatment of generalized linear mixed models, also known as multilevel or hierarchical models. These models are "mixed" because they allow fixed and random effects, and they are "generalized" because they are appropriate for continuous Gaussian responses as well as binary, count, and other types of limited dependent variables.
