Re: Modelling proportions
If you can send me an example worksheet, along with instructions on how to replicate the problem I will investigate what is causing this error.

Re: offset for negative binomial models
To answer the question about the inconsistency between the help file and the runmlwin error message, it is the error message that is wrong as MLwiN does allow offsets in negative binomial models. We will fix this message in the next release, but if you are happy editing runmlwin.ado the fix is to ch...

Re: Modelling proportions
As part of fitting discrete outcome models MLwiN uses and names a number of columns. You can see an example of this on the line referred to in the error message that you describe: name c1180 'H' C1181 'F~(H)' C1182 'H*' C1183 'P' c1184 'MASK' c1189 'Y-VAR' If when it gets to this point you already h...

Re: Identifying Points
If you click on the "set styles" button on the "graph options" window you will see that you can set a column to contain the graph highlight settings. You can also change this with the GALL command. You can edit this column to determine which points are highlighted. The values are...

Re: MLwiN on Unix?
MLwiN does appear to run fairly well on Unix type systems if you run it with Wine (http://www.winehq.org/). We have recently updated our FAQs to provide some details on how to set this up (see http://www.bristol.ac.uk/cmm/software/m ... .html#unix).

Re: Error message when exporting data
This message usually indicates that MLwiN has encountered a problem creating the file in the chosen directory, this could happen for example if the location where you chose to save to was read-only or didn't exist. You could check this by choosing a location with the browse button that is definitely...

Re: realcomImputeLoad error
The only reshape command that I can find in realcomImputeLoad.ado is: quietly reshape long v, i(id) This would match with the error message that you are getting as this refers to a variable starting with v. I would firstly suggest that you look to see whether there is anything obviously wrong with t...

Re: Extracting Standard Error Estimates
You should be able to calculate this from the variance matrix, e(V). The following is an example of how to do this is: matrix stderr = vecdiag(e(V)) forvalues i = 1/`=colsof(stderr)' { matrix stderr[1,`i'] = sqrt(stderr[1,`i']) } This should give you a matrix with the same dimensions as e(b), but wh...

Re: realcomImpute error
From the output that you have provided it looks like it's having a problem in the following section of code: *save file ready for REALCOM to load local stoppos = strpos("`using'",".") if `stoppos'==0 { local savename `using'.txt } else { local savename `using' } file open myFile ...

Re: Issue with factor variables
Thanks for letting us know about this. You cannot recast __000003 because it is a temporary variable that is only created for the duration that runmlwin is running. We have now added code to ensure that these generated variables are kept to the correct precision for MLwiN in our development version,...
