Applied Longitudinal Data Analysis: Modeling Change and Event Occurrence
by Judith D. Singer and John B. Willett
Chapter 7: Examining the multilevel model’s error covariance structure

The graphs on this page were made with SPSS version 15.  The graphs made with the igraph command may not work in later versions of SPSS.  We are working to replace the igraph commands with ggraph.  Thank you for your understanding.
