Would it please be possible to provide me with some template code as to how I could set these starting values within stata - within the context of a null 3-level crossclassifed model say? I have run some separate 2-level analyses with each of the higher levels in my models (schoo...

Hi Chris, Thank you for getting back to me and apologies to come back with another question… As you will have seen from my syntax, I obtained the initial starting estimates from a pql2 estimate on a standard 3-level hierarchical model before using these for my cross-classified model fitted with MCMC...

This was my syntax, will it still have worked correctly? runmlwin elite cons, /// level3(schoolid: cons) /// level2(lsoaid: cons) /// level1(id:) /// discrete(distributi...
