Given multivariate multiblock data (e.g., subjects nested in groups are measured on multiple variables), one may be interested in the nature and number of dimensions that underlie the variables, and in differences in dimensional structure across data blocks. To this end, clusterwise simultaneous...

Correlated random-effects (Mundlak, 1978, Econometrica 46: 69–85; Wooldridge, 2010, Econometric Analysis of Cross Section and Panel Data [MIT Press]) and hybrid models (Allison, 2009, Fixed Effects Regression Models [Sage]) are attractive alternatives to standard random-effects and fixed-effects...

Political science data often contain grouped observations, which produces unobserved "cluster effects" in statistical models. Typical solutions include (1) ignoring the impact on coefficients and only adjusting the standard errors of generalized linear models (GLM) or (2) addressing clustering...
