usual mean from multiple regression model
var-covar structure accounts for clustering
within a cluster, variance = 2 + 2 and covariance = 2
compound symmetry structure
ratio of the cluster variance 2 to the total variance
2 + 2 is the intraclass correlation

r = 2 /(2 + 2)
class is bad term, since in education class has meaning

Results
conclusions about CC by TV interaction differ
non-significant by class-level analysis, significant by
student-level analysis, marginally significant by multilevel
student-level results close to multilevel, but estimates are
more similar than standard errors underestimation of
standard errors by ordinary regression analysis is expected
since assumption of independence of observations is violated
students more homogeneous within classrooms than schools
students within classrooms model, r = 0.052
students within schools model, r = 0.022
3-level model close to students within classrooms model
based on 3-level model, classroom and school effects
accounted for 3.8% and 1.5% of total variance, respectively

Likelihood-ratio tests:
suppose Model I is nested within Model II
2 log(LII / LI) = 2 (log LII log LI) 2q
where q = number of additional parameters in Model II
2 log L is called the deviance (the higher the deviance the
poorer the model fit)
DI DII 2q
to evaluate the null hypothesis that the additional parameters in
Model II jointly equal 0
