Very interesting book! However, it doesn't cover multivariate models (I have 9 moderately correlated, categorical dependent variables). Again, I'm trying to find out whether 5 time-varying variables (dichotomous; five different life events yes/no; subjects can have several life events at the same

I recommend looking at chapter 6 of Paul Allison's Fixed Effects Regression Models. This chapter outlines how you can use a structural equation modeling framework to estimate a multi-level model (a random effects model). This approach is slower than just using MLM software like lmer() in the
