You probably have little person level variance due to the small numbers
of households with a substantial number of people. Why not just take the
average across people within the houselhold? Although it doesn't hurt to
do this as a multilevel model anyway.

Subject: household analysis question
hi,
I'm doing a multilevel analysis.
My results show that I have nearly none variance on the person-level.
thats why I want to do a hosehold analysis.
For that I want to delete any additional person in a household, so that
I have only 1 person per household.
Can anyone give me a clue how to do it?
I assume it must be pretty easy but I have no idea how to do it.
thanks,
christian
