Multilevel regression
Random intercept

Advantage

If people drop out you can still use data

Random intercept

every participant starts out at different level

Looks at BS differences

Identifiablility

Model is only meaningful when all components can be identified

nr of estimated parameter =/< nr of available estimates

If not identifiable

warning

Simplify model

Structures with random intercept added

ID+RI

only measures true correlation

participants are measured multiple times

V matrix

Spss combides G and R

CS

Same residual variance and covariance

AR1+RI

Special case of ARMA

Intra-class correlation

relliability

random intercept variance divided by measured variance

Factors

fixed

mean structure

interaction, linearity

Random

covariance

predictors

BS

WS

Difficult to destinguish in random part

intention to treat analyses

BV gender/treatment

SPSS

G matrix

BS variance

Only 1 element

R matrix

WS variance on diagonal

Most simple

Variance same for all timepoints

CS=RI ID
