many multilevel models are based on "location" e.g. schools within
region, students within schools, measurements within students. There
are a number of books on multilevel/random-effect models. Rabe-Hesketh
and Skrondal's Multilevel and Longitudinal Modeling Using Stata is one
that addresses such models from a Stata user's point of view and I can
personally recommend it. It's available at the StataCorp website.
