Notation of the β coefficients
Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2017 3:11 pm
Dear MLwiNners,
I have a small question regarding the prefered notation concerning the notation of the estimated β coefficients reported in MLwiN when including the estimates in the result section of an article.
When reporting the specific coefficients in the text, should one use the notation β (as MlWin calculates estimates for the population) or b (as these estimates are based on the sample values)? (e.g. something like β=1.23, p<.05)
What is the most common notation? Does anyone have examples in papers or manuals?
And does this differ from reporting single-level regression results?
Kind regards,
Rasul
