You can check whether (R)IGLS models have converged by looking in e(converged), although if the macro doesn't finish running this might not be filled in. There is already an MLwiN macro command to ignore errors in macros (ERRO 0) which is sometimes used in simulations. We shall investigate whether t...

I just had Stata update to 11.2 here too, although I still get the same popping under behaviour as before if another application has focus (even another instance of Stata).

This is currently implemented as a sub option of the MCMC option i.e. mcmc(paex(2 3)) to specify parameter expansion at levels 2 and 3. As the MCMC functionality is still being developed the exact syntax may still be subject to change in the future.

That's an interesting find. Out of curiosity, if you are using a Stata do file editor associated with a different instance of Stata do you get interrupted there too?

1) If you watch the text screen that runs alongside Realcom-Impute you will see that messages appear regarding the current state of the model run. This should include the current iteration, and the estimates when the model has finished running. 2) The estimates do not turn green when the imputation ...

Unfortunately the current trial version of MLwiN is based on version 2.16, while runmlwin makes use of functionality added in version 2.22. I will look into updating the trial version to a compatible version in the near future. Having said that, if I am reading what you typed correctly I think that ...

Yes this is possible. You will need to create a file containing a series of MLwiN commands and then pass this an an argument to mlwin /run. In order to create the necessary file you will be need to become familiar with the MLwiN command language. Most of the documentation for the commands can be fou...

Have you checked that your data is sorted correctly (see http://www.cmm.bris.ac.uk/MLwiN/tech-su ... html#order)?

1) This error message usually indicates that not all the variables in your model are the same length. To check this choose: Data Manipulation->Names and check that the "n" column for all variables in your model (including cons) has the same value. 2) You can copy most MLwiN windows, includ...

I suspect that you are viewing the equation with general notation. To switch to simple notation click the "notation" button at the bottom of the equation and untick "general". Once you have done this the equation should match what you are expecting.
