Abstract:Bayesian multilevel models—also known as hierarchical or mixed models—are used in situations in which the aim is to model the random effect of groups or levels. In this paper, we conduct a simulation study to compare the predictive ability of 1-level Bayesian multilevel logistic regression models with that of 2-level Bayesian multilevel logistic regression models by using the prior Scaled Beta2 and inverse-gamma distributions to model the standard deviation in the 2-level. Then, these models are employed to es… Show more
