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,...

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.
