Greetings-
I have some data on which I need to do something like a Hierarchical
Linear Model (please bear with me, I'm only learning the technique so I
don't know yet if my language is correct). Essentially I'm analyzing
data
at two levels simultaneously; data are about individuals an organizations
of which they are members.
Can someone point me toward an appropriate package in R?
Thanks.

The use of the lme (linear mixed effects) function from the nlme package for multilevel analysis or hierarchical linear models is described in @Book{pinh:bate:2000, author = {Jos\'{e} C. Pinheiro and Douglas M. Bates}, title = {Mixed-Effects Models in \textsf{S} and \textsf{S-PLUS}}, publisher = {Springer}, year = 2000, series = {Statistics and Computing} } -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

Try lme in the nlme package (available on CRAN) and/or Jim Lindsey's repeated measurements package (available at http://alpha.luc.ac.be/~lucp0753/rcode.html).
