Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. Product Description: In the mid 1980s a number of researchers began to pursue systematic approaches to the statistical modelling and analysis of hierarchically structured data. Aitkin's early work on teaching styles and his subsequent classic work with Longford initiated a series of developments that by the early 1990s had resulted in a core of established techniques and software. The methods are now finding wide applications in education, epidemiology, geography, child development, and sociology. This new edition aims to integrate existing methodological developments, provide examples, and explain new developments, especially in discrete response data, times series models, random cross classifications, errors of measurement, missing data, and nonlinear models.
