Dear R users I have a data set which has five variables. One depenedent variable y, and 4 Independent variables (education-level, householdincome, countrygdp and countrygdpsquare). The first two are data corresponding to the individual and the next two coorespond to the country to which the individual belongs to. My data set does not make this distinction between individual level and country level. Is there a way such that I can make R make countrygdp and countrygdpsquare at a different level than the individual level data. In other words I wish to transform my dataset such that it recognizes two individual level variables to be at Level-1 and the other two country level variables at Level-2.
I need to run a multilevel model, but first I must make my dataset recognise data at Level-1 and Level-2. How can I create this country level group (gdp and gdp^2) such that I can perform a multilevel model as follows: lmer(y ~ education-level + householdincome + countrygdp + countrygdpsquare + (1 I Level2),family=binomial(link="probit),data=dataset) Please kindly help me with the relevant commands for creating this Level2 (having two variables) Thanks Saurav Dr.Saurav Pathak PhD, Univ.of.Florida Mechanical Engineering Doctoral Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Imperial College Business School s.patha...@imperial.ac.uk 0044-7795321121 [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
