TL;DR
It is argued that using MLwiN and Stata in combination allows researchers to capitalize on the best features of both packages and to fit multilevel models by both maximum likelihood and Markov chain Monte Carlo estimation.
Abstract
We illustrate how to t multilevel models in the MLwiN package seamlessly fromwithin Stata using the Stata program runmlwin. We argue that using MLwiN and Stata in combination allows researchers to capitalize on the best features of both packages. We provide examples of how to use runmlwin to continuous, binary, ordinal, nominal and mixed response multilevel models by both maximum likelihood and Markov chain Monte Carlo estimation.
