Intuitive Joint Priors for Bayesian Multilevel Models
in the quantitative sciences making up a big part of all statistical analysis performed on data. In the quantitative sciences, data often contains multilevel structure, for example, because of natural [...] Multilevel models (MLMs) are designed specifically to account for the nested structure in multilevel data and are a widely applied class of regression models. From a Bayesian perspective, the widespread success [...] added to the model while the number of observations remains constant, such models will overfit the data. This is highly problematic as it leads to unreliable or uninterpretable estimates, bad out-of-sample …
