Description

Hierarchical Linear Modeling provides a brief, easy-to-read guide to implementing hierarchical linear modeling using three leading software platforms, followed by a set of original "how-to" application articles following a standardized instructional format. The Guide portion consists of five chapters that provide an overview of HLM, discussion of methodological assumptions, and parallel worked model examples in SPSS, SAS, and HLM software. The Applications portion consists of ten contributions in which authors provide step-by-step presentations of how HLM is implemented and reported for introductory to intermediate applications.

"The book covers the three most widely accessible statistical programs for multilevel modeling rather than just focusing on one. . . . An excellent tool for researchers who are beginning to learn multilevel modeling, as well as a great resource for experienced researchers who want to learn a different statistical program for multilevel models." —Debbie L. Hahs-Vaughn, University of Central Florida

"The intelligent use of the examples helps explain both the conceptual framework of HLM and its basic individual applications."—Luis L. Cabo, Mercyhurst College

Recent Product Reviews:

I enjoyed the book but the examples were beyond most of my students capabilities. I will consider this for a future more advanced course.
Dr Melinda Higgins, Nell H Woodruff Sch Of Nursing, Emory University
The text is well written and comprehensive. My students found the textbook to be accessible and the descriptions full and useful.
Professor Bruno Zumbo, Educational and Counseling Psychology, Barber Learning Centre
too advanced for the undergraduate course I taught
Mrs Megan Pollock, Sch Of Professional Psychology, Alliant International University - Fresno
Recommends to graduate students who need to learn about nested designs.
Dr Marie-Claude Jipguep, Sociology Anthropology Dept, Howard University
Won't work as a text for an HLM course at the MS level.
Dr Michael Biderman, Psychology , University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
