Stas-
Thanks so much for your response. I guess for me the confusion still
lies in the output. If it's a matter of learning Cholesky
decomposition, why does the gllamm output (without mim) provide the
variances/covariances? Are you saying that I need to learn Cholesky
decomposition in order to somehow aggregate the imputed data to get
the level 1 and 2 variance/covariances?
Thanks
Christian
