Many data often has a hierarchical structure. For example, residents are clustered into the neighbourhoods and students are nested into the school.
These intrinsic characteristics of data could result in challenges when analyzing data (e.g., potential correlation between element units (residents) in the same higher level unit (neighbourhoods)). A multilevel model approach can incorporate a data hierarch by allowing varying estimates according to a higher level of a hierarchy. This training session will introduce the fundamentals of multilevel model and examples with R and WinBUGS codes.
