A simulation-based assessment of the bias produced when using averages from small DHS clusters as contextual variables in multilevel models [PDF]
There is much interest these days in the importance of community institutions and resources for individual mortality and fertility. DHS data may seem to be a valuable source for such multilevel analysis. For example, researchers may consider including in

Meta-models for transfer learning in source localization
In practice, nondestructive testing (NDT) procedures tend to consider experiments (and their respective models) as distinct, conducted in isolation, and associated with independent data.

The specification of the propensity score in multilevel observational studies [PDF]
Propensity Score Matching (PSM) has become a popular approach to estimation of causal effects. It relies on the assumption that selection into a treatment can be explained purely in terms of observable characteristics (the “unconfoundedness assumption ...

Fear of crime and victimisation: a multivariate multilevel analysis of competing measurements [PDF]
This study models simultaneously three commonly used indicators of fear of crime: feeling unsafe alone at home after dark, feeling unsafe walking alone after dark and worry about becoming victim of crime, over direct (being a victim) and indirect ...

Multilevel Models for Longitudinal Data [PDF]
Repeated measures and repeated events data have a hierarchical structure which can be analysed by using multilevel models. A growth curve model is an example of a multilevel random-coefficients model, whereas a discrete time event history model for ...
