Re: How to set up a joint model correctly (repeated measures - outcome (1) and a later distal outcome (2))

I asked George about this and he recommended the following method of replicating the model in MLwiN: // create variable to represent the intercept generate cons = 1 // combine weight and sbp responses into a single column capture drop y replace weight = 0 if weight == . replace sbp = 0 if sbp ==. ge...

Re: How to use command line interface?

We don't have a lot of information on this outside the advanced guide. What kind of extensions are you hoping to add?

Re: REQUEST FOR HELP

MLwiN allows the worksheet columns to have different lengths, however any that are used in the model (including level identifiers, etc) must contain the same number of rows. The error message suggests that this is not the case for your model so I would suggest looking the the Data Manipulation>Names...

Re: Why intercept differs from sample mean

I checked this with George and the behaviour is expected and is covered in Snijders and Bosker . George gives the following explanation for the simplest multilevel case (two-level variance components model): The intercept is interpreted as the population average of the cluster-specific population me...

Re: runmlwin causing MLwiN to load all observations

The loading procedure should be the same for both models, I think that you just don't see the loading message on the four level model because the data finishes loading before the message is displayed. The question is therefore why the data takes so much longer to load for the five level model. My su...

Re: runmlwin causing MLwiN to load all observations

Would you be able to elaborate on the error that this is causing? The data should be loaded into MLwiN in both cases, however it may be that the data for the 5 level model is large enough that MLwiN has time to report the loading progress. Does the model fail to estimate, or are there problems when ...

Re: MLPowSim MLwiN macro error

Are you able to provide a list of all of the inputs that you entered into MLPowSim so that we can attempt to replicate this?

Re: To estimate a bivariate hierarchical linear model (2 dependent variables with 3 levels)

I would recommend that you read through chapter 14 of the MLwiN user's guide which provides some examples of these type of model. If you have further questions then let us know.

Re: Boost runmlwin to Stata transmission speed

When the model has finished running in MLwiN the various resulting outputs are saved to data files and then read into Stata. If you wanted to speed up this process you could look into whether you could reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred (e.g. by not returning residuals or having ...
