A colleague was asking me if R does multi-level modelling as opposed to multiple regression. Since I have no knowledge of multi-level modelling (except 5 minutes googling ) I thought that I would as here. Does are offer any multi-level modeling packages? It looked like arm might be one but I was not sure. Thanks
Yes, typically one uses lme4 or nlme to do multilevel modeling in R. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu - http://perrin.socsci.unc.edu Assistant Professor of Sociology; Book Review Editor, _Social Forces_ University of North Carolina - CB#3210, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3210 USA New Book: http://www.press.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/hfs.cgi/00/178592.ctl On Wed, 28 Mar 2007, John Kane wrote:> A colleague was asking me if R does multi-level > modelling as opposed to multiple regression.

Thanks to everyone for the information and to Chuck for the links. I must have misspelt something because I missed most of them in the RsiteSearch.
