i am doing a research based project and need help to write a set of equations with variables at two levels.i am clear on what i need to do but don`t know how to express it in equation form.
I have a dependent variable which is a function of 12 parameters.
each parameter has several sub parameters which are basically questions asked from respondents on certain issues at two different time periods.
I have taken the percentage change in the responses for the sub parameter. I have then put a weightage to the percentage change so that I do not have a very wide peaks in data.
so i have assigned points to this change in response as per below -
points %age change[TABLE="width: 927, align: center"]
[/TABLE]
0 0 or less than 0
1 0-25%
2 26%-50%
3 51%-75%
4 76%-100%
5 more than 100%
when i add up the points, i hope to get a sum of how each subparameter is influencing the parameter. further, by putting how many different subparameters come under different parameters, i can get how much each parameter is affecting the dependent variable.
i need to write two sets of equations. one for the parameters and then one for the subparameters and i need help.
