Does anyone know of code to conduct hierarchical (that is, multi-level) models using R. Beyond simply requiring a nested design, I want to model explicitly the covariance between levels as is done in such multi-level modeling software as HLM or MLwin and discussed in Goldestein (1999) available online at http://www.arnoldpublishers.com/support/goldstein.htm (a nice and free resource for anyone interested in HLM). The work that I will be doing in the immediate future would involve linear applications of multi-level modeling, however I would be interested in code to conduc...
