Session Submission Summary

Cross-Classified and Multiple Membership Random Effects Models: Demonstrations, Evaluations, and Extensions

Mon, April 11, 11:45am to 1:15pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 103 A

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

This structured poster session includes eleven methodological studies focused on cross-classified and multiple membership random effects models (CCREMs and MMREMs). Every study includes a real data analysis demonstrating focal concepts and many of them also include simulation studies evaluating model estimation. Five of the studies demonstrate and evaluate extensions to commonly used multilevel models (including scenarios with longitudinal data, propensity score matching, meta-analysis and two mediation designs) so that they can be used with cross-classified data. Four studies assess robustness when the CCREM or MMREM is mis-specified. One study investigates reasonable sample size thresholds for decent estimation of a CCREM and MMREM combination model and the final study demonstrates use of a design effect intended for use with cross-classified data.
