Description

It would be useful to compute the multilevel correlation as a random intercept & random slope mixed-effects model, which allows ID slopes to vary. This option, along with the current approach (random-intercept only model), ensures greater user flexibility.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing multilevel correlation implementation and its random-intercept-only model, then compare the requested random-intercept and random-slope behavior. Done means users can select varying ID slopes while retaining the current approach.
