runmlwin should (more or less) work like any other Stata command, so you should be able to use the standard Stata facilities to create the required dummies. I think that the example we provide only does it manually to make the process more explicit (and give the generated dummies names of our ...

Could you provide any further information about what your time variable represents? E.g., Is it the occasion on which a measurement was taken, as in the example in chapter 13 of the MLwiN manual ( https://www.bristol.ac.uk/cmm/media/software/mlwin/downloads/manuals/3-13/manual-web.pdf ), or is it a ...

lc1 lc2 and lc3plus are dummy variables that were created from the categorical variable lc . You can see the code that was used to create them at the beginning of the replication example for chapter 10 of the MLwiN user's guide ( https://www.bristol.ac.uk/cmm/media/runmlwin/10_Multinomial_Logistic ...

Are you able to provide any information about your data and its structure? For example, does it contain missing values, does it have particularly large/small clusters, does it contain some extreme values, etc? Can you try fitting simpler versions of the model (e.g. with only the intercept) to see if ...

Discrete response models fitted via (R)IGLS in MLwiN are often compared using a Wald test. For details of how to do this test see the MLwiN manual, for example on pages 125, 131 and 138.

I believe that you should be able to manually allow the application to run by following the steps in this article: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/m ... b3a043/mac. For a more detailed description of the cause of this warning see https://support.apple.com/en-gb/102445.

This sounds like an error is occurring within MLwiN, so the best way to find the cause would be to add the option debugmode=TRUE to the list in estoptions .

Looking at the syntax that you provided I think that the problem may be that you need to extend the Model1_MultiMembers list with another NA ...

If you are fitting the model using (R)IGLS then you could use a Wald test. If you are using MCMC then you could compare the values of the DIC diagnostic.

The most likely reason for this is that by default MLwiN applies an adjustment to the calculated variances to take into account sampling variability. This setting can be changed via the Model>Residuals window, or via the RTYPE command, however runmlwin does not currently have a way to set this. If ...

On the whole older macros should work with the most recent releases, so this may be a bug. I suggest updating to the most recent release of the software (available from https://www.cmm.bristol.ac.uk/clients/softwaredownload/ ), and if you still have the problem after this, providing further details ...
