Mixed model question

[Baglioni, Tony]

I am hoping someone can provide a decisive answer to a  question. I am preparing to do a multi-level analysis where workers are nested within teams and some workers are on multiple teams.  My question is what is the best way to deal with this?  I have thought of two options and perhaps there are more.  First, I thought I would just eliminate those few workers (10 out of about 400 workers).  Second, I thought I could replicate the individual level data but have separate team level data.  This sounds good but the specter of non-independent data at the individual level is haunting me.  Any ideas.

 

TIA.

Tony

You should look into multiple-membership models.

 

Also, you may want to check out the Multilevel Listserv at

 

https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=multilevel

 

Someone there might be able to provide better advice/assistance.

Tony,

 

I believe what you have is also termed a "cross-classified" model. Never done one myself. Mention is made in this book chapter 8: http://www.routledge.com/books/Multilevel-and-Longitudinal-Modeling-with-PASW--SPSS-isbn9781848728639

 

Best,

John
