Multilevel Models

Analyzing cross-sectionally clustered data using generalized estimating equations

As of 2024.10.03, the most read article on JEBS (for the last 6 months)! In the original paper draft, I had a section which showed how much more widely used mixed models (i.e., MLMs, HLMs) were compared to GEEs but was asked to remove that. I thought the usage was interesting so I am including it here:
