A convenient summary of the 'importance' of schools is the proportion of the total variance accounted for, which we will call the 'variance partition coefficient' (VPC) given by the formula: and in ...
Where can I find the random parameter matrix in MLwiN? How do I use this to work out the residual ('unexplained') variance at each level? Variances and covariances are stored in column c1096. (See ...
The SURVEYMEANS procedure uses the Taylor expansion method to estimate sampling errors of estimators based on complex sample designs. This method obtains a linear approximation for the estimator and ...
