I am fitting a very simple bivariate linear regression model in MLwiN: my dependent variable is student achievement and my predictor is school infrastructure. I am trying to fit a random intercepts, random slopes model.
I have to apply weights in order to expand my results to the population. The problem is that when I use the raw weights they have already given me my confidence bounds become extremely large. Therefore my level 2 and level 1 variance are also very very large. When i try to do the analysis without weights I dont have such problem. In spite of that, i want to use the weights in order to conclude for the whole population.
Any hints?
Thank you very much!
