Multi-level student data
Before using hierarchical models, explore the data with a plot and linear model. Plotting data gives you visual intuition and allows you to see potential trends or problems. Building a simple model provides a comparison to a hierarchical model. Building a simple linear model provides a starting place for hierarchical models and troubleshooting the linear model is quicker and simpler than a hierarchical model.
During this exercise, you will plot how a student's gain in math scores may be predicted by the teacher's math knowledge.
