Multilevel Designs and Their Analyses
Overview Multilevel designs are designs that involve more than one size of experimental unit, thus the name, multilevel. Split-plot designs are multilevel designs and have been used by physical and biological science researchers since the 1930s. Hierarchical designs and now multilevel designs have been used by social science researchers the past few years. The structures are identical and the models needed to describe resulting data are identical. This paper provides a general frame work within which to identify and then analyze multilevel designs whether called split-plot, hierarchical, or multilevel. Repeated measures designs are multilevel designs. The strip-plot is also a multilevel design that is not a hierarchical design and is a structure not generally considered by those using multilevel designs in the social sciences.
