Vulnerability and risk to HIV infection in Uganda: multilevel modelling of Uganda AIDS Indicator Survey Data
… The analyses were based on the application of Multilevel Logistic regression models to 2004-05 and 2011 Uganda AIDS Indicator Surveys, fitted in MLwiN. Chapter 5 about the influence of SES on HIV infection and Chapter 6 on the influence of community factors on HIV infection are based on pooled …

Assessment of control and performance of biomedical systems
… methodology: Functional data analysis and multilevel modelling are utilised in the investigation of these two biomedical systems. Functional data analysis considers observations as a function rather than a highly correlated sequence of measurements. Multilevel modelling assumes that …

Examining Child Sex as a Moderator of the Relationship Between Cortisol Reactivity and Symptoms Over Time
… which were re-collected at child ages 5 and 8. Multilevel modelling was used to investigate whether the relationship between cortisol reactivity and symptoms differed between boys and girls longitudinally. Over time, girls with lower cortisol reactivity showed a decrease in depressive symptoms …

Humility Predicts Eudaimonic Well-Being and Compassionate Action in a Daily Experience Sampling Study
… their compassionate actions were over one week. Multilevel modelling demonstrated that on average, humble individuals report greater well-being, give and receive more compassion, and report more autonomous compassion. Compassion did not mediate the relationship between humility and well-being. …

Matching novel face and voice identity using static and dynamic facial images
… the characteristics of specific stimulus sets. Multilevel modelling analyses show that some people look and sound more similar than others. The results also indicate that when there is only a short (~1 second) interval between faces and voices, people exhibit a bias to assume that they belong to …
