Regarding this paper: http://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings13/433-2013.pdf A multilevel model primer... I have a question. On page 13 it says that based on the covariance parameter output on page 12, it seems that growth in reading achievement does vary between children. How would one approximate the % variability in this case (based on the covariance parameter output on page 12)? I'll note that page 13 does say, "Although the magnitude of the intercept variance estimate is rarely interpreted in a substantive way, the pvalue for that variance parameter indicates that reading achievement at entry into kindergarten does vary between children." Paper by: Bethany A. Bell, Mihaela Ene, Whitney Smiley, Jason A. Schoeneberger I was told by SAS on YouTube to ask about this here. Thanks in advance.
