MLM Book: Interested in multilevel modeling, linear mixed models, or hierarchical linear modeling?
Please take a look at my new book now available from Sage Publications. Review copies are available for instructors. "Multilevel Modeling: Applications in STATA®, IBM® SPSS®,SAS®, R & HLM™" (2020) provides a gentle, hands-on illustration of the most common types of multilevel modeling software, offering instructors multiple software resources for their students and an applications-based foundation for teaching multilevel modeling in the social sciences.
Author G.David Garson’s step-by-step instructions for software walk readers through each package. The instructions for the different platforms allow students to get a running start using the package with which they are most familiar while the instructor can start teaching the concepts of multilevel modeling right away. Instructors will find this text serves as both a comprehensive resource fo6 rtheir students and a foundation for their teaching alike.

APPENDIX 2: DATA USED IN THIS BOOK
Factor Analysis and Dimension Reduction in R will be published by Routledge in late 2022 or early 2023.
By G. David Garson, North Carolina State University
In addition to covering principal components analysis and principal factor analysis with orthogonal and oblique rotation, this book covers such advanced topics as higher order factor models, bifactor models, models based on binary and ordinal data, models based on mixed data, generalized low-rank models, cluster analysis with GLRM, models involving supplemental variables or observations, Bayesian factor analysis, regularized factor analysis, testing for unidimensionality, and prediction with factor scores. The second half of the book deals with other procedures for dimension reduction. These include coverage of kernel PCA, factor analysis with multidimensional scaling, locally linear embedding models, Laplacian eigenmaps, diffusion maps, force directed methods, t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding, independent component analysis (ICA), dimensionality reduction via regression (DRR), non-negative matrix factorization (NNMF), Isomap, Autoencoder, uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) models, neural network models, and longitudinal factor analysis models. In addition, a special chapter covers metrics for comparing model performance. In production with Routledge Publishing and expected to be published in late 2022 with a 2023 publication date. The book has 15 chapters and contains 144 original figures.
