Complex models and issues N2 - Data collected in the social sciences often have a multilevel or clustered structure. From this we often have research questions that are of a multilevel nature, and multilevel modeling is now widely used across health, economics, demography, education, and many other areas to analyze data clustered within units at higher levels.
