Panel data modelling

[Yasmin Lurusati]

Hi all,

I am a new member of Stata forum. Previously I used multilevel modelling for the analysis, but then I have the request to use panel data modelling for the analysis. Since I am new to this panel data modelling, could someone briefly inform me about this model please, and what kind of analysis and syntax are used for this model. Thank you.

The place to start is in the [XT] Stata Longitudinal-Data/Panel-Data Reference Manual PDF included in your Stata installation and accessible from Stata's Help menu.

To add to William's spot-on suggestion, let me note that some standard panel data techniques are identical to specific multilevel modelling estimators (and also to some variants of anova).

as an aside to previous helpful comments, please note that -mixed- equals -xtreg, mle re-.
