1 10,723 persons, 18-80 age, 60 areas

2 Individual propensity of consulting private physicians VS Area.

3 Y: 최근 1년간 private physicians consulting 경험유무:binomial

Effect of group variable

1 Repeated measure, random effect, multilevel, hierarchial GLM,GEE, GLMM...

2 그룹변수의 beta값 못구하겠다. (그룹이 너무 많다.. 50개 100개...)

3 구해본들.. 해석난감.. (50개 그룹 → 49개 베타값)

4 그룹변수의 효과를 숫자 하나로 표시한다: Vgroup

5 분산이 얼마나 크냐?? 0: 그룹은 의미없다, 클수록 그룹의의미가 크다.

Count data(rate, 자녀 수..)

1 poisson 분포때는 ICC계산가능 (similar to binomial case)

2 Gamma, neg-bin...???, Interpretation issue: 0-1 scale.

1 ICC의 개념이 없다. Y: hazard function...
