多层模型在社会科学领域的应用

Application of Multilevel Modeling Techniques in Social Science Research

文章介绍了多层模型在社会科学领域的应用,并比较多层模型与普通模型的分析结果。结果显示,普通模型过高地估计自变量对因变量的作用及影响程度;相反,多层模型调节数据的聚类性质,其参数估计更精确,得出的结论更符合实际。

This paper introduces multilevel modeling technique and its applications to the research of social sciences. It also compares the analytical results of multilevel models with the OLS results to better understand the advantages of multilevel modeling technique.
