For this practical, we will use data from a sample of the Teaching dataset of The Longitudinal Study of Young People in England, 2004-2006 available here. We will be fitting a series of school value-added models, which are one of the most prominent examples of multilevel models applied in education research. A traditional school value-added mod...

Random intercepts model Following up from what we were doing in practical 1, we’ll continue building up our multilevel model for school effects. Task 1: Value-added model Fit a model with “prior attainment” as the only covariate. According to the literature this is a “type AA” value-added model. According to the DfE, this is a school ...

For this practical, we will use data from a sample of the Teaching dataset of the Health Survey for England (2003-2005), which is available here. We will be fitting a series of binary logistic multilevel models for the probability of being overweight or obese. The traditional measure used to determine whether an adult is overweight is the Body-...

Random slopes model Following up from practical 2, we will continue to build up our multilevel model for school effects by adding a random slope for prior attainment. Task 1: Fit a random slopes model We have theoretical reasons to believe that the effect of KS2 varies across schools, since some schools do seem to make their pupils progress mo...

Practical 4: Linear regression in R
Some background information For this practical, we’ll be using open data from the following source: Wright, D. and London, K. (2011). Modern Regression Techniques Using R, London: Sage. (Chapter 8). This is available here. This dataset contains information about a randomised controlled trial, in which primary school pupils were asked about the ...
