Dear all,
I have a dataset with students nested in schools and also schools belong
to each district. The data was explicitly nested as previous examples.
In my case, I don't care the variance between schools or district,and I
just want to assess the effect of different teaching
methods,traditionally,the model can be specified in lmer like :
lmer(score~method+(1|district/school),data)
notes: the method was a factor(m1.......m10)
in my study ,I want to know the variance between methods,and I also use
some
covariates at method level to explain the variance between methods.
I construct the unconditional model and conditional models like these:
unconditional model :lmer(score~1+(1|method)+(1/district/school),data)
conditional model :lmer(score~1+CK+(1|method)+(1/district/school),data)
the CK indicates the evaluation score for each method.
What I want to confirm is whether the specification of all the models was
reasonable and correct in lmer.
Any help will be appreciated.
yours,
Lei Chen
