Table 5.2 uses data file reading_pp. You can download the SSM file READING.SSM for the data and use it directly from within HLM. To see how to use an SSM file in HLM, please see our FAQ page on it. The method we choose for estimating these models is ML. Estimation method is selected from Basic Specifications menu.
Model A: Using AGEGRP-6.5 as a temporal predictor. This centered variable has been created before creating SSM file. It is called cagegrop.
