Multiple Membership Weights

Post by mackelprang »

What are the consequences of weights summing to less than 1 in a variance components multiple membership model. My assumption is that residual error would pick up a greater share of the total variance, but I wanted to double check. Also, any good references on this topic--that is weights summing to less than 1.

many thanks
