R2MLwiN is an R command interface to the MLwiN multilevel modelling software package, allowing users to fit multilevel models using MLwiN from within the R environment. It is designed to be used with versions of MLwiN from v2.25 onwards although some features will work with earlier versions.
Both MLwiN and R are required to use R2MLwiN. MLwiN is free to UK academics. A fully functional 30-day free version of MLwiN is available to all other users.
