Hi,

I have run 4 level models with binary response variable using mcmc.
I have added context variables - one at a time - for each level.

Some questions:
1. Is it straght forward to change the coefficients from odds to probability in such a model?

2. To be able to compare the strenght of the ...

Dear all,

I'm trying to estimat three and four levels binary response models, and would like to calculate the VPC for the different levels.
I have searched through the learning materials, manuals and some books to find out how this is done. But have only found how
I may do it for a continous ...

I forgot to say what I actually did: I tried thinning of 5 and then I could run 500 000 iterations without a problem.

As to the question of what the estimation are based on - the MCMC manual (Browne 2009) says on page 26:
"Note that the parameter mean and standard deviation use all the iteration ...

Thank you so much!! It worked:)

Hi,

I'm running a 4-level model with a binary response variable. There are 5400 individuals and 20 explanatory variables at level 1, and no explanatory variables at level 2, 3 and 4. I run MCMC-estimation and have asked for 200 000 iterations - when I reach 164 200 iterations I get this message ...
