Multilevel Modeling with MLwiN

The aim of this seminar is to help you learn how to use MLwiN to perform multilevel modeling.  Although this seminar does not teach you about multilevel modeling, we have a wide variety of resources on MLwiN for you.

This seminar uses examples from Using SAS PROC MIXED to fit multilevel models, hierarchical models and individual growth models by Judith Singer which can be downloaded from Professor Singer's web site at http://gseweb.harvard.edu/~faculty/singer/Papers/sasprocmixed.pdf .  If you download the paper, please let Professor Singer know by sending her an email at judith_singer@harvard.edu.

See the paper examples where you can see this solved in a variety of packages.

Here is the web page for the seminar

Data Files

• HS&B Data - The first half of the paper uses the hsb data files from Hierarchical Linear Models by Anthony Bryk and Stephen Raudenbush.  We thank the author's for their permission to distribute the data files from their book at our web site. We have this as a Stata data file hsb12.dta and a MLwiN data file hsb12.ws
• Willett Data - The second half of the paper uses data from Willet (1998) "Questions and Answers in the Measurement of Change," in Review of Research in Education (ed by E.Z. Rothkopf) (1988).  We thank the author for permission to distribute this data file from our web site.  We have this as a Stata file willett.dta and a MLwiN data file, willett.ws
