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...

Re: Order of variables?
One possible reason for this behaviour is that the two models are converging from different directions and are considered to have converged before reaching exactly the same point. The default tolerance in MLwiN (and runmlwin) is 10e-2, which corresponds to a 1% change in the value of the estimate fr...

Re: MCMC with negative binomial distribution
The negative binomial distribution is currently not implemented in MLwiN when using MCMC estimation. We will try to provide a better error message to indicate this in a later release of runmlwin.

Re: Problem with workaround cross-classified models bug in 2
Looking at your data it appears that none of your identifier variables contain a value of zero, so that bug isn't the cause of the difference that you are seeing. A more likely cause of this issue is the change in starting values for the residuals in cross-classified models that was made in version ...

Re: Problem with workaround cross-classified models bug in 2
If you are experiencing this bug then adding one to the relevant classification columns should have fixed it. One other possibility is that because cross-classified models can't get starting residuals from a previously specified model that it is taking longer for the estimates to get into the right ...
