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,...

Re: runmlwin has encountered an error importing the model...

You should be able carry on with the loop by either putting a capture in front of the post command so that it carries on with the loop when it fails, or by only calling post when runmlwin succeeds by putting it in an if !c(rc) statement.

Re: Pre or post file PRE does not exist & Warning: getversio

Thanks for reporting this, it appears to be a bug. The contents of the global macro and the command option should be stored in a local macro, and then this used within the command. It appears that in some places, such as discrete models, we are using the global macro directly. I will fix this for th...

Re: Newbie question: At what level does a covariate operate

MLwiN works out that it is a level 2 variable from the fact that its value is constant within each level 2 identifier. This can be demostrated by modifying the data prior to adding the variable to the model so that this is no longer the case. If you do this the subscript will then be ij instead of j.

Re: runmlwin and Linux?

Since your initial post we have done some testing and as a result have updated the FAQ on running MLwiN on non-Windows systems ( http://www.bristol.ac.uk/cmm/software/mlwin/features/sysreq.html#unix ). Once we have a package that is confirmed to work we also intend to provide an FAQ on using runmlwi...

Re: switching stata output off; saving regression results

You can prevent Stata giving a 'more' prompt with the command: set more off For more information see http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?more . You can turn off the output from runmlwin by either prefixing it with quietly (see http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?quietly ), or you can turn off individual parts w...

Re: runmlwin and Linux?

We have not had any reports of MLwiN working under Wine before, which is why we haven't created versions of the plugin for Linux or Mac. I would be very interested in hearing how well it runs in this environment. If runmlwin is unable to find a particular plugin it should be able to fall back to eit...
