HLM FAQ #1: HLM Availability

Question:

I would like to perform a hierarchical linear models (HLM) analysis, also known as a multilevel model analysis. I've heard there is special software to perform this analysis called HLM. How can I gain access to this software?

Answer:

You may access HLM in one of three ways:

  1. License a copy from Scientific Software International, the HLM vendor, for your own personal computer.
  2. Obtain an ITS computer account to access our licensed copy over the UT Austin campus network. See our FAQ on General FAQ #36 : Connecting to published statistical and mathematical applications on the ITS Windows Terminal Server for more information about this option.
  3. Download the free student version of HLM from the Scientific Software International Web site for your own personal computer.

If your models of interest and databases are small, the free student version may be sufficient to meet your needs. For larger models, you will need to purchase your own copy of HLM or access the ITS shared copy of the software through the campus network.
