Dear DHS specialists,

I have some concerns regarding multilevel models. Since I have very low cluster effect (ICC:0.077) I used mother level as my second level..So since mothers are nested in households, it is correct to use mother ID as a second level or? instead of mother can we use Household level..

2. DO I have to use xtmelogit binary_bw , || qa cluster: || mother ID/ Household ID :, covariance(independent) (three level model)

OR Do I need to consider only two levels xtmelogit binary_bw , || mother ID/household ID :, covariance(independent), ignoring the cluster since the cluster variance is low?

Kindly clarify this for me.. Thanks
