COMPARISON OF MULTILEVEL MODEL AND ITS STATISTICAL DIAGNOSTICS
COMPARISON OF MULTILEVEL MODEL AND ITS STATISTICAL DIAGNOSTICS Diagnostics in Statistical Analysis is atmost important because there may be few influential observations which may distort the inference of the problem statement at hand. It is to be noted that all influential observations are not outliers, but some outliers are influential. In this blog, I will point out few standard statistical diagnostics in multilevel data. Multilevel data and its diagnostics Multi-level models are the statistical models of parameters (like in usual linear regression model) that vary at more than one level. It is also referred with many terms, namely, mixed-effect models, random effect model, hierarchical models and many more. In recent times, with the advent of statistical software and computations, multi-level or hierarchical models are widely used for longitudinal repeated measures analysis and in many meta data applications. Multi-level models could also applicable for non-linear case too ...
