Abstract
Repeated measures data can be modelled as a two-levelmodel where occasions (level one units) are grouped byindividuals (level two units). Goldstein et al. (1994)proposed a multilevel time series model when theresponse variable follows a Normal distribution andthe measurements are taken with unequal timeintervals. This paper extends the methodology todiscrete response variables. The models are applied toBritish Election Study data consisting of repeatedmeasures of voting intention.
