Arnold maintained a companion support site for Harvey Goldstein's Multilevel Statistical Modelsalongside the print editions of the book. The site carried worked examples, corrigenda, downloadable datasets used in the book's case studies, and pointers to the MLwiN software that grew out of the same research programme.
What the support site carried
- Errata and corrigenda for the current print edition — typographic fixes, clarifications, and any substantive revisions issued between printings.
- Datasetsused in the book's worked examples — education-research panel data, longitudinal growth data, and the multi-site clinical-trial examples cited in the text — supplied in plain-text and software-specific formats suitable for re-fitting the models locally.
- Worked example scripts for MLwiN and other multilevel-modelling packages, annotated to match the section numbering in the book.
- Teaching notes — slides and tutorial-exercise files contributed by lecturers using the book in their biostatistics and social-statistics courses.
- Software pointers to MLwiN (Centre for Multilevel Modelling) and to the R packages

Where to find these resources now
After the transfer of Arnold's academic journal list to SAGE Publications in 2006 and the subsequent reorganisation of the higher-education book list under Taylor & Francis, most of the active support material migrated to those successor imprints and to the Centre for Multilevel Modelling at the University of Bristol. For current editions, the publisher's own book page is the canonical source for datasets and errata.
