A Bayesian multilevel model for women unemployment in South Africa
… Bayesian estimation approach were applied to a multilevel logistic regression (MLR) model. Secondary data acquired from the Demographic and Health survey (DHS) held in South Africa in 2016 was used in the study. Information criteria revealed that the random intercept model outperformed the MLR …

Structure-function relationship in hierarchical model of brain networks
… network of cat cortical connectivity. We model the cortical areas by a subnetwork of interacting excitable neurons (multilevel model) and by a neural mass model (population model). With weak couplings, the multilevel model displays biologically plausible dynamics and the synchronization …

Longitudinal multilevel models analyzing the trends of land use effects on non-driving travel choice
… attempts to establish and compare three distinct modeling approaches to analyze the trends of land use effects on people’s choice behavior of non-driving travel mode. The three modeling approaches are: a comparison approach with two cross-sectional multilevel Logit models using single-year data, a …

Race relations in schools: The effects of competition and hierarchy on education, sports participation, and standardized test scores
… and Educational Study of 1988 (NELS: 88) and multilevel model statistical procedures, support for both theories is found. I conclude that race relations in schools impact student's cultural activities and test scores.

The relationship between sleep impairment and interpersonal organizational outcomes
… worker's sleep and perceived social support in a multilevel model. Additionally, prior research has not examined the relationship between sleep and perceived organizational support. This cross-sectional study examined the relationship between 2213 workers' self-reported sleep (e.g., sleep quantity …

Healthcare Cost Implications of Medicaid Managed Care
… for each procedure and was analyzed using a multilevel model that accounted for the random effect of hospital in the regression. The key independent variable of interest (Burden of MMC) was found to be significantly associated with increases in patient charges. Several covariates were also …

The Heavy Hand of Government: an Economic Study of Obesity
… various specifications. The results of the mixed multilevel model indicate a strong and positive statistical association between the marginal income tax rate and BMI. The quantile regression analysis indicates that size of the effect is substantially greater at the upper quantiles of BMI, …

Student Achievement in Middle Grades: Gauging the Effect of Teacher Training on Student Learning
… public school districts in the Midwest. Using a multilevel model of growth at the school-level of analysis, the study found a positive effect of advanced teacher training in math on student achievement in math. The study did not find evidence of the positive effect of teacher training in reading. …

Examining Longitudinal Patterns of Psychotropic Medication Use by Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities Relocating from Institutions to Community Settings
… 133 years, institutionalization was the primary model of care provided for individuals with intellectual disabilities in Ontario. By March 31, 2009, the last remaining institution in Ontario was closed. Given that individuals with intellectual disabilities are more likely to develop health and …

An investigation of social capital in Britain using small area estimation analysis
… may influence levels of these factors. Complex Multilevel models with individual covariates and area-level covariates from the Census and administrative sources confirm the hypothesis: the factors depend on age, gender, ethnicity, religion, marital status, socio-economic class, employment, state …

Multivariate dynamic criteria: a process model of job performance
… validity in this way necessitates a process model for the domain of job performance. This paper develops a theoretical process model that draws together concepts from socialization and the literature on skill acquisition (Ackerman, 1987; Murphy, 1989) and presents a multivariate multilevel …

A systematic review and meta-analysis examining the effect of stress at encoding on line-up performance
… stress on line-up performance. Additionally, a multilevel model shows that using continuous, rather than dichotomous, measures of stress may clarify the stress-performance relationship. Recommendations for further research are made in the hope that new studies can answer the important question …

Public Housing on Risky Ground: A National Study of Flood Risk and Two Case Studies Investigating the Legacy of Environmental Inequality
… and how they can be protected. Using a multilevel model, the first study finds that census tracts with higher concentrations of subsidized housing have greater exposure to flooding, particularly in inland regions and especially in inland Alaska. The second and third studies each use a …

Multilevel modeling of item position Effects
… study presents a hierarchical generalized linear model, a type of multilevel model, for estimating item position effects. Previous approaches to estimating and modeling position effects are described within a multilevel framework, and an extension of these approaches is demonstrated, one which …

Individual Differences in Secondary Hyperalgesia and Associated Neural Activity
… within a two-week period. I performed a multilevel model to examine individual differences in the area of secondary hyperalgesia developed across sessions and found secondary hyperalgesia was stable within participants; however, they displayed significant interindividual differences in …

Methods for analysing complex panel data using multilevel models with an application to the Brazilian labour force survey
… of data complexity. These methods follow the Multilevel Model framework which is reviewed. Longitudinal growth curve models accounting for the complex data hierarchy are fitted. Recognizing the need to account for the complex correlation structure present in the data, multivariate multilevel …

School Climate and Public High School Student Achievement
… the ELS:2002 restricted-use dataset, a series of multilevel model analyses were conducted. The results indicate that performance gaps exist between 12th-graders of different ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds, but they are merely reflections of the differences that already existed two years …
