1 GUIDE TO WEB-RESOURCES FOR MULTILEVEL MODELING AND ANALYSIS 3rd Edition Revised September 2005 These resources have been put together by Kelvyn Jones, Myles Gould and SV Subramanian. It derives from the questions we are frequently asked when teaching introductory multilevel courses. The listing of resources is designed as an organized meta-site, whereby other resources for multilevel modeling on the web can be accessed. We list a specific resource only once, so you may have to search through the document to find what you want. To that end we have put it on the web as a single document and you can then use Find or Search facility on your browser to scan the entire document. General The best general site is the Centre for Multilevel Modelling at: The ESRC National Centre for Research methods is to be found at while the Lemma node of the NCRM (Learning Environment for Multilevel Methodology) is to be found at A powerpoint presentation on its scientific mission is given at JonRasbash.ppt The multilevel mailing list is also a key general resource as it is searchable; it represents many years of accumulated questions and answers: Another vital resource is provided by the UCLA Academic Technology Services who maintain data and worked examples in a number of different software packages for a number of different multilevel textbooks: Book and other downloads that accompany books A taster of Goldstein s classic text in its 3 rd edition on multilevel statistical models (Goldstein H, 2003, Multilevel statistical models, London, Arnold Publishers) is available at: A previous version of this classic can also be downloaded at Supplementary material for Tom Snijders and Roel Bosker textbook Snijders T, Bosker R, 1999 Multilevel analysis: an introduction to basic and advanced multilevel modeling, London, Sage, including updates and corrections, data sets used in examples, with set-ups for running the examples in MLwiN and in HLM, and an introduction to MLwiN) can be found at: Supplementary material for Joop Hox s textbook Hox J, 2002, Multilevel analysis: techniques and applications, Mahwah, NJ, Lawrence Erlbaum can be found at: and also at The complete content of Hox J, 1995, Applied multilevel analysis, Amsterdam: TT-Publikaties can be downloaded at at Hox s website at: Version September 2005 multilevel 1

Chapman & Hall/CRC. can be found at Supplementary material to Garrett Fitzmaurice, Nan Laird, James Ware (2004) Applied Longitudinal Analysis Wiley is to be found at Supplementary material to Applied Longitudinal Data Analysis: Modeling Change and Event Occurrence by Judy Singer and John Wilett (2003) Oxford University Press, can be found at: For those interested in the analysis of spatial data, there is Andrew B. Lawson, William J. Browne, Carmen L. Vidal Rodeiro (2003) Disease Mapping with WinBUGS and MlwiN, Wiley and it associated website To read a comparison of multilevel modeling with traditional approaches to running ANOVA, regression, and logistic regression with memories/events being "nested" within people/testing session see Wright DB, 1998, Modeling clustered data in autobiographical memory research: the multilevel approach, Applied Cognitive Psychology, 12, at: To keep up to date with developments in the field have a look at the downloadable Multilevel Newsletters: References to published work on multilevel modelling List of references to material that uses multilevel modeling can be found at Jung-Ho Yang s: and the Centre for Multilevel Modelling has a very extensive and growing list of references: Wolfgang Ludwig-Mayerhofer s annotated references on multilevel modeling: There is a structured list of references (based on different types of model) at the HLM website Software in general If you want to compare the different packages that are available for multilevel modeling, detailed comparisons are being developed at: If you want to see how a particular model can be fitted in particular software, there are the developing resources at UCLA For those wishing to analyze longitudinal data, software instructions in a wide range of programs is provided by UCLA to accompany the textbook Singer JD, Willett JB, 2003 Applied longitudinal data analysis: modeling change and event occurrence, New York, Oxford University Press, at: Version September 2005 multilevel 2
3 Training associated with software A growing amount of web-based (or at least down-loadable) training materials are being developed. We have chosen to organize this section by the particular software that is being used, and rather arbitrarily separated commercial software from the freeware that follows aml HLM MLwiN Mplus SAS SPSS Can be used to fit a range of multilevel models but has specific features for fitting multi-process or simultaneous equation models to hierarchical data where predictor variables may be non-random or endogenous, and other types of models used by economists such as a multilevel Heckman selection models: The official site gives guidance at There is very good introductory material on how to set up the models by Information Technology Services at the University of Texas Jason Newsom s Multilevel Regression course that uses HLM, but covers a lot of other ground too (eg Distinguishing between random and fixed: variables, effects, and coefficients; comparison of estimators, and kinks to SPSS Mixed) You can download a version of the software, data and training manuals from TRAMMS (Teaching Resources and Materials for Social Scientists): The manuals are a course in themselves The substantial enhancement of the MCMC procedures in MLwiN is discussed in full in 'MCMC Estimation in MLwiN' which is to be used with the version 2.0 of the program: This software allows structural equation modeling, multilevel modeling and mixture modeling; the home site has training downloads and examples: Judy Singer has a pdf download that shows how to fit multilevel models in PROC MIXED; it is very well written: UCLA has implemented the Singer example in other software (eg R\Splus; HLM. MlwiN, SPSS): C.J. Anderson has a lot of material for his course online at: Data and SAS related material are available for Applied Longitudinal Analysis by Garrett Fitzmaurice, Nan Laird, James Ware at The code and data to fit the models contained in SAS System for Mixed Models (1996) by RC Littell, GA Milliken, WW Stroup, and RD Wolfinger, is to be found at: A useful discussion of the Linear Mixed Models procedure in SPSS Advanced Models is to be found at: (search under Linear Mixed Effects): while a HTML down-loadable tutorial based on a set of case studies is to be found at mo John Painter provides a clear guide on how to fit multilevel models using SPPS mixed Another brief demonstration of SPSS Mixed in action is to be found at Version September 2005 multilevel 3
4 Freeware There are a number of programs that are available at low or nil cost; some of these are general (like R), others are more specific but can have special features that make them particularly attractive; we have tried to identify these special features below. We have also pointed to some appropriate training resources. BAYESX BUGS GeoBUGS GLLAMM MIX R has a number of distinctive features including handling structured (correlated) and/or unstructured (uncorrelated) effects of spatial covariates (geographical data) and unstructured random effects of unordered group indicators. It allows non-parametric relationships between the response and the predictors (generalized additive models) and does this for continuous and discrete outcomes, it can manipulate and display geographical maps: Bayesian inference Using Gibbs Sampling is really a flexible language that allows the fitting of a very wide range of models using MCMC methods; this is a very rich site developed by the MRC Biostatistics Research Unit in Cambridge which has lots of freely down-loadable software and detailed manuals A number of courses using BUGS have been put online, a listing is given at Peter Congdon has written two books based around BUGS (Bayesian Statistical Modelling, and Applied Bayesian Modelling) data and programmes are available for both books at ftp:// is an add-on to BUGS that has been developed by a team at Imperial College to fit spatial models and produce a range of maps as output: this software usefully undertakes multilevel latent class and factor analysis, adapative quadrature to derive the full likelihood with discrete and normal response, and has facilities for fitting nonparametric models in which the distribution at the higher level can be non-normal (you need STATA to run this software; preferably STATA 8) ; this software is particularly useful for the models listed above, but can be slow to converge. This site also a rich one with growing number of downloads of lectures and papers showing how the approach can be used in practice These are a set of stand-alone programmes that fir a number of specific models including mixedeffects linear regression, mixed-effects logistic regression for nominal or ordinal outcomes, mixed-effects probit regression for ordinal outcomes, mixed-effects Poisson regression, and mixed-effects grouped-time survival analysis. They have a common interface, and importantly they calculate the likelihood directly so allowing comparison of the change in deviance for nested models. The are versions for Windows as well as for PowerMac and Solaris R is complete system for statistical computation and graphics, it can be seen as an Open Source implementation of the S language which in turn underlies the S-Plus software. It is distributed freely under the GNU General Public License and can be used for commercial purposes. It operates across a very wide range of platforms. The latest version and documentation can be obtained via CRAN, the Comprehensive R Archive Network R/ S Normal-theory models are fitted in R using lme and nlme functions described in full in Mixedeffects models in S and S-PLUS' by J. C. Pinheiro and D. M. Bates (2000), there is an additional support for this book at for discrete responses there is the function glmmpql which is discussed in the 4th edition of Modern applied statistics with S W. N. Venables and B. D. Ripley; the book also covers normal theory models; there is online support for the book at; Jeff Gill maintains a website that provides help, tutorials and references for those who want to use R Version September 2005 multilevel 4
5 Useful macros and other software PreML Diagnostics PINT OD DismapWin PROC TRAJ There is a very useful utility written so as to export an SPSS file into a MLwiN worksheet, it is down-loadable from Tom Snijders webpage: Tom Snijders homepage contains a set of MLwiN macros for producing diagnostics and for fitting a social network model For determining appropriate required sample sizes and power in a two-level model; there is a manual is another program for power analysis and optimal design, it has excellent graphical output, you will need to read the published papers by Steve Raudenbush and Xiao-Feng Liu a manual has now appeared at Steve Raudenbush s personal website is a public domain software for the statistical analysis of epidemiological maps; it allows the analysis of unobserved heterogeneity using mixture models; the program offers a Poisson regression approach which links disease and exposure data is a SAS procedure, written by Bob Jones, that fits a discrete mixture model to longitudinal data, and thereby implements Nagel s group trajectory model; a very useful site for this type of model with downloads of papers is Websites maintained by individuals Douglas Bates who developed the LME and NLME functions in R and S-plus has a website at: Bill Browne (who has made major contributions to the MCMC component of MLwiN) has a large number of down-loadable papers at: David Draper s home page has a lot of material about the Bayesian approach to hierarchical models: Tony Fielding has useful material on ordered categorical variables, endogeneity and instrumental variables including MLwiN macros, at Andrew Gelman has lots of downloadable papers and presentations on multilevel modelling with a strong Bayesian flavour Harvey Goldstein, who is the instigator of the MLwiN software has a number of down-loadable papers at his personal website: Don Hedeker who has been behind the MIX set of programs has lecture transparencies and class notes on longitudinal analysis at: Joop Hox s webpage has papers, programs and lectures to download at: Alastair Leyland s (who has extensively used multilevel modelling in public health) details are available at Version September 2005 multilevel 5
