 The ''random = ~ study | district'' argument adds correlated random effects for the different studies within districts to the model, where the variance-covariance matrix of the random effects takes on a compound symmetric structure (''struct="CS"'' is the default). Note that the estimate of $\rho$ that is obtained is exactly the same as the ICC value we computed earlier based on the multilevel model. Also, the estimate of $\tau^2$ obtained from the multivariate parameterization is the same as the total amount of heterogeneity computed earlier based on the multilevel model. Note that ''random = ~ school | district'' would again yield the same results.
-As long as $\rho$ is estimated to be positive, the multilevel and multivariate parametrizations are in essence identical. In fact, the log likelihoods of the two models should be identical, which we can confirm with:
