Multivariate multilevel models

[angelo1990]

Hi all,

I need to estimate the parameters from a multivariate multilevel (2 level) model (3 continuous responses). The software is able to do this, however, I would like to know some literature references about this. What does actually the software do? What about the estimation methods? Does anyone have any experience about these models via this software and can help me? I know the theory behind the multivariate mixed effect models but I can't understand what this software does.
Thanks.

Cheers,
Angelo

I would suggest looking at Harvey Goldstein's Multilevel Statistical Models book for this information. You can find a link to the electronic version of the second edition (1995) at http://www.bristol.ac.uk/cmm/team/hg/.

I think Multivariate analysis methods are best suited for you. It is specially used for the following purposes:
1. Research and development
2. Consumer and market research
3. Process optimization and process control
4. Quality control and quality assurance across a range of industries such as food and beverage
