Hi, my population has been living in four neighborhoods during their live so for some cases (rows) the same code could apply for the neighborhood for instance at time 1 and 3 because the person lived first in neighborhood X1, moved to X2 and then to X1 again. Could it be this the source of error? Wh...

Thanks. When I do that (Abort and Start) a new error message appears: MCMC Error 0142: The 2th MM unit for obs 3 is a duplicate of the 1th MM unit(MCMC)
I checked obs 3 but it seems to me the same as the others.

Thanks Chris. That problem is solved. But still when I run the last command: runmlwin Qfunc43 cons, level2(SAMS81: cons, mmids(SAMS81 SAMS86) mmweights(weight1-weight2)) level1(id:cons) mcmc(burnin(0) chain(500)) initsb(b) initsv(V) This error comes: "error while obeying batch file C:\XXX at li...

Hi, I have tried to follow the instructions and do the following: quietly runmlwin Qfunc43 cons, level2(SAMS81: cons) level1(id: cons) nopause matrix b = e(b) matrix V = e(V) matrix b[1,1] = -2 matrix b[1,2] = 5 matrix b[1,3] = 2 matrix b[1,4] = 4 Here there is an error saying: "conformability ...

Dear George:

MLwiN gives me another error message: "error while obeying batch file C:\XXX at line number 90: MCMC 0 500 1 5.8 50 10 1 1 1 1 1 1"

I read in another post that it might be due to the starting values. Any suggestion how to solve this?

Thanks, it worked. I have another query. In the same example, the software gives me this error: "Error, the MM ID variable 4 for observation 2 is present but a zero MM weight has been specified for it" Data are in compact form. I coded the weights as 0 when the person had been in the same ...

Hi, I am trying to run a multiple membership model using runmlwin in Stata (linking to MLWin v 2.30). I have used the code provided in section 16.4 of the MLWin MCMC manual. The code runs fine until the last command, when I get the following error message in Stata: “Number of variables in mmids2() m...

Thanks, I will try.

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. The material you refer by Fiona seems to be related to MLwin. The question was specifically if it is possible to run a multilevel survival analysis with runmlwin.
Any other suggestion?
