Hi:
There should also be formulas for r-square, at level 1 and 2 are in:
Rabe-Hesketh, S., & Skrondal, A. (2008). Multilevel and Longitudinal
Modeling Using Stata. College Station, TX: Stata Press.
Best,
J.

Is it 'correct' to conclude that this estimated model
yields a total variance of 510 (100+10+400) and
accordingly variable1 explains about 20% and variable
2% of the total model or is that a total
misinterpretation?
I once knew the answer, now I only know the reference:
chapter 7 of Tom Snijders and Roel Bosker (1999)
"Multilevel Analysis, An introduction to basic and
advanced multilevel modeling". Thousand Oaks: Sage.
Hope this is still of some help,
Maarten
