I trying to run a simple two-level MLM with a group-mean centered (cwc - centered within cluster) level-1 variable. As my clusters have relatively small size, the observed mean would not be reliable. It would be better to estimate the unobserved true group means and work with those. I’m wondering i…

Hi @Tay, just wondering if you were able to make this work?
