MLwiN handles data differently to SPSS in that rather than assuming that the data is rectangular with a row per case and a column per variable it instead allows columns of different length and only requires that columns in the model have the same length. It is therefore possible that you only ...

This has moved into the level() sub options so now has the following form:

runmlwin variables, level2(variables, parex) level1(variables) initsp mcmc(options)

It sounds as if either the Matlab runtime is missing or incorrectly installed. You can make sure that you have the correct version by following the instructions in the section marked MATLAB runtime installer for Realcom on the following page:

Would it be possible to supply an example of a sequence of steps to replicate this error?

Thanks for this. It appears that a bug has been introduced when parsing the reset option, which is what was causing your error. I have fixed this in the development version so it should be fixed next time we do an update. In the meantime you can either run the models without the reset option, or if ...

The syntax should still match that in the help file, however it is possible that one of the undocumented options may have changed. Alternatively a bug may have crept in that wasn't picked up in testing. Would it be possible for you to provide an example of the syntax that fails?

It appears that you have hit Stata's limit for the maximum number of characters that can be stored in a macro. As this is affected by the maxvar setting you can increase this (up to a maximum of 32767 characters) with a command like the following:

set maxvar 32767

Once you have done this you ...

A trial version of MLwiN which should be compatible with runmlwin is now available from http://www.bristol.ac.uk/cmm/software/mlwin/download/.

Are you telling runmlwin where to find mlwin.exe via the mlwinpath option, or via the $MLwiN_path global? I think that there is currently a bug where it is always expecting to find it in $MLwiN_path while displaying the results. We will fix this in a later version, but in the mean time the ...

The parameter chains are stored by default in c1090 as a sequence of successive sets, one for each iteration. Within each set the parameters are stored with the fixed parameters first, followed by the random parameters. The order of these should match that in the equations window. You can extract a ...
