		Hierarchical Linear Modeling with Visualization and Decomposition
		// Provides functions for visualization and decomposition in
		hierarchical linear models (HLM) for applications in education,
		psychology, and the social sciences. Includes variance
		decomposition for two-level and three-level data structures
		following Snijders and Bosker (2012, ISBN:9781849202015),
		intraclass correlation (ICC) estimation and design effect
		computation as described in Shrout and Fleiss (1979)
		doi:10.1037/0033-2909.86.2.420, and contextual effect
		decomposition via the Mundlak (1978) doi:10.2307/1913646
		specification distinguishing within- and between-cluster
		components. Supports visualization of random slopes and cross-
		level interactions following Hofmann and Gavin (1998)
		doi:10.1177/014920639802400504 and Hamaker and Muthen (2020)
		doi:10.1037/met0000239. Multilevel models are estimated using
		'lme4' (Bates et al., 2015 doi:10.18637/jss.v067.i01). An
		optional 'Shiny' application enables interactive exploration of
		model components and parameter variation. The implementation
		follows the multilevel modeling framework of Raudenbush and
		Bryk (2002, ISBN:9780761919049).
