WORKS!!!!! thanks!

hi-

I need to estimate a series of models in batch via runmlwin. I have the setup working except for the final call to runmlwin. I can even open stata and execute runmlwin with the -nomlwin option! I'm pretty sure the issue is that even though stata is being run in batch mode runmlwin is spawning ...

yes that makes sense. it occurred to me to try putting in a meaningless higher level to try out the theory.

please do keep me posted. my efforts are somewhat crippled in the meantime.

many thanks, ash

i think i'm on the source of the bug. In the "u.dta" file the idnum iterates up to the number of level 2 units BUT i specified i want level3 residuals.

fyi. i tried the same model in univariate and bivariate version and with thinning. The univariate residuals are correct while the bivariate and ...

hi-

I'm estimating a multivariate cross-classified model with mcmc. I aim to save the residual chains using:
...
level3(id: (cons B , eq(1))(cons B, eq(2)) (cons B, eq(3)), residuals(u, savechains("u.dta", replace)) ) ///

However when i examine "u.dta" after it has alot of missing data ...

hi-

took quite a bit to narrow down this issue.

MLWIN fails to estimate multilevel multivariate models with highly correlated dependents. I created an absurd toy example. This works:
