If I understand it correctly, you have multiple X measurements per
person, but only a single Y? Does the outcome come after all the RHS
measurements?
If there is, by design, a single outcome per case, then this is not
really clustered data, but rather individual-level data with multiply
observed explanatory variables:
Y_i = f(X_{i1},X_{i2},...X_{iT}) rather than Y_{it} = f(X_{it})
Rather than a clustered model, I'd be looking for a way of simplifying
the RHS variables, e.g., via factor analysis. If they are categorical
you might be able to cluster them using sequence analysis (depending on
how time functions, and on your substantive question).

Brendan
