Abstract
En 中文
Multilevel analysis is widely used for hierarchical data, enabling researchers to evaluate how individual- and cluster-level attributes relate to individual outcomes. A well-known concern involves conflated or smushed fixed slopes (Hoffman & Walters, Citation2022), which arise when a level-1 predictor that varies systematically across clusters is modeled with a single fixed effect, thereby blending its within- and between-cluster components.
