on inference from crossclassified multilevel logistic regression models Rebecca Vassallo ESRC Research Methods Festiva l July 2012 2 Introduction Influence of the interviewer and area on survey response behaviour. Study Design and Sample Size. Ideally we are involved in a study from the beginning. As statisticians (an epidemiologist) part of our role is to ensure the study is designed to address the primary hypothesis under consideration. Impact Evaluations. Kristen Himelein. 1. Introduction.
