Data 2014 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey Collected using multistage stratified cluster sampling 14,530 observations Binary response characteristic: Whether or not a woman is using modern contraceptive methods
Methods Horizontal Effects - Spatial Dependence Ordinary Least Square Model Spatial Lag Model Spatial Error Model Vertical Effects - Hierarchical Generalized Linear Regression Model Multilevel Logistic Regression Model Binomial Distribution with Logit Link
