When the residuals are not normally distributed, bootstrapping has been presented (Carpenter, Goldstein, & Rasbash, 2003; Goldstein, 2011; Wang, Carpenter, & Kepler, 2006; Wang, Shi, & Fisher, 2011) as a potential strategy for dealing with the bias in the variance estimates and standard errors that results from using ML or REML estimation.
