The principal aim of the book is an exposition of methods for the analysis of clustered observations; the secondary one is to provide substantive interest as a measure of uncertainty, quality, equity, or generally, as a summary of differences among experimental or observational units. Another goal is to make a balanced presentation of the advantages and limitations of these methodsThe examples used for illustration of methods are not drawnexclusively from the social sciences. Although models are motivated mainly by social science problems, they are applicable in a variety of situations involving (imperfect) replication, such as repeatedmeasurements, repeated experiments, logitudinal analysis, and analysis of covariance structures in general. A comprehensive account of linear regression models with random coefficients emphasising modelling and computational aspects. This item is printed on demand.
