Details

The simulated wage1 dataset is one of the sample datasets provided with the multilevel modelling software package MLwiN (Rasbash et al., 2009), and described in Browne (2012). It consists of salary and associated information for office workers, and is used by Browne (2012) as an example of modelling a multiple membership structure. The dataset exhibits multiple membership in that workers are clustered across the companies employing them over the past year, but some have worked for more than one company during that time.)

Examples

data(wage1, package = "R2MLwiN")

(mymodel <- runMLwiN(logearn ~ 1 + age_40 + numjobs + (1 | company) + (1 | id), 
  estoptions = list(EstM = 1, 
  mm = list(list(mmvar = list("company", "company2", "company3", "company4"),
  weights = list("weight1", "weight2", "weight3", "weight4")), NA)),
  data = wage1))
