Multilevel modelling is now the accepted statistical technique for handling such data and is widely available in computer software packages. A thorough understanding of these techniques is therefore important for all those working in these areas. This new edition of Multilevel Statistical Models brings these techniques together, starting from basic ideas and illustrating how more complex models are derived. Bayesian methodology using MCMC has been extended along with new material on smoothing models, multivariate responses, missing data, latent normal transformations for discrete responses, structural equation modeling and survival models.  \u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a clear introduction and a comprehensive account of multilevel models.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew methodological developments and applications are explored.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten by a leading expert in the field of multilevel methodology.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIllustrated throughout with real-life examples, explaining theoretical concepts.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is suitable as a comprehensive text for postgraduate courses, as well as a general reference guide.
