Mixed-effects modeling has been solidified as a primary means for accurately and efficiently estimating a wide-variety of multilevel and longitudinal models. More complex models that include cross-level interactions, cross-classified random effects, alternative covariances structures, and the like appear much more frequently in the health and social sciences research literature. Sophisticated mixedeffects modeling procedures are now incorporated in most comprehensive statistical software packages (including R, Stata, and SAS), and thus there is less need for specialized multilevel software"-- ER -
