A Guide to Multilevel Modeling in Machine Learning

Multilevel modeling is a technique for dealing with data that has been clustered or grouped. Data with repeated measures can also be analyzed using multilevel modeling. For example, If we are testing the blood pressure of a group of patients on a weekly basis, we can think of the succeeding measurements as being grouped inside the individual subjects. It can handle data with different measurement periods from one subject to the next. A multilevel model in machine learning can be applied in such cases that models the parameters that vary at more than one level.
