Abstract:How to determine the number of level-2 units in multilevel structural equation modeling (MSEM) as a standard applied to nested or hierarchical data structure was still unknown. This research used Canada data in the large database "Programme for International Student Assessment 2003" (PISA 2003) to check the model-fit indexes and parameters stability in our proposed empirical example processed by MSEM under different numbers of level-2 units. Our proposed example model was first be handled to fit Canada data (2… Show more
