To All, especially to the publishers of SPSS,

On a related note: Would it not be quite helpful and not all that complicated to expand the SPSS Aggregate function to compute regression components?

It seems to me that if Aggregate included Intercept and Regression Coefficient functions it would be possible to do rough and ready, but easy to control and examine, hierarchical modeling based on the products of Aggregate runs.

(By the way, Aggregate gets my vote as the most useful recent addition to SPSS functionality.)

Kizzy, I don't know of an online HLM tutorial for SPSS, but would caution you against using HLM in SPSS. I have done HLM analyses in recent past first with SPSS and then with HLM 6 softwre. The results are different. This difference is not minor either, you will draw different conclusions (opposite in my case) from the results of each software. I do prefer HLM 6 and believe it to be the one that gives correct answers. There are a couple of books that deal with HLM in SPSS specifically. One is Leech, Barrett, and Morgan's SPSS for Intermediate statistics. The other is of course Norusis' SPSS 16.0 advanced statistical procedures companion. Of the two I much prefer Norusis' book.
