Details

The lips1 dataset is one of the sample datasets provided with the multilevel-modelling software package MLwiN (Rasbash et al., 2009), and was analysed in Clayton & Kaldor (1987); see also Browne (2012) for more details.

Examples

data(lips1, package = "R2MLwiN")

(mymodel <- runMLwiN(log(obs) ~ 1 + perc_aff + offset(offs) + (0 | neigh1) + (1 | area),
 D = "Poisson", estoptions = list(EstM = 1), data = lips1))
