Table 1 Summary of the random effect components for the multilevel models for stunting, wasting and underweight. The second and third columns refer to the varying effects with covariance matrix V, whereas the fourth column refers to the factor variable associated with A. The last two columns contain the total number of parameters and random effects for each random effects component
