Notes for the Reviewer

• Check that the notebook tags are appropriate
• 3 screenshots are missing, and I wasn't sure where to find them.
• This text refers to Chris F's multilevel notebook. However, it does not seem a good practice to refer to a cell number in another notebook, as it could easily change:

Critically, many effects that look quite large and significant in the non-hiearchical model actually turn out to be much smaller when we take the group distribution into account (this point can also well be seen in plot In[12] in Chris Fonnesbeck's notebook {ref}multilevel_modeling. Shrinkage can thus be viewed as a form of smart regularization that helps reduce false-positives!
