waba-package: Within-And-Between-Analysis For Groups and Dyads

Description References

Description

Levels-of-analysis issues arise whenever individual-level data are collected from more than one person from the same dyad, family, classroom, work group, or other interaction unit. Interdependence among cases from the same units also violates the independence-of-observations assumption that underlies many statistical tests. This package contains functions for addressing these issues via: (1) the within-and-between-analyses (WABA) framework described by Dansereau, Alutto, and Yammarino (1984), and (2) the dyad-level analyses described by Gonzalez and Griffin (1999) and Griffin and Gonzalez (1995). Descriptions of the procedures were provided by Yammarino and Markham (1992), Yammarino (1998), and by O'Connor (2004).
