TEACHSOC: Re: Hierarchical Linear Modeling

[klausner]

Thank you, Adair. When I learned about it today from a former student who is now a grad student ,I became enthused about what it can do since explaining and determining effects of variables couched at different levels of analysis is of interest. Since statistics/methodology is not one of my areas of expertise, learning what's new and hot in that area from former students is a pleasant way of keeping current. Best Wishes, Michael P.S. If you are anyone knows of any relatively recent papers published using HLM in Sociology Journals, I'd appreciate the references. Thanks.

I think it really is one of the hot things in research these days, especially with growing interest in "neighborhood effects" and "school effects." The HLM software put out by U of C (Raudenbusch and whats-his-name) who have written the big book on the topic is pretty easy to use, I found. And the general idea isn't hard to understand nor explain in a paper... Those are my two cents, for what they are worth.

Just learned what it can do from a former student who is a doctorate candidate. Thanks, Michael
