error importing the model results from MLwiN

Post by SoumavaBasu »

Hi,
I am trying the runmlwin command using MLwiN trial version on my data. I started with a very simple command:

runmlwin tb cons, level2(v001: cons) level1(individual:) discrete(distribution(binomial) link(logit) denominator(cons) pql2) nopause

[where, v001 is cluster indicator]

However, I receive an error message:

runmlwin has encountered an error importing the model results from MLwiN. Check that the model has run properly in MLwiN.

r(198);

What does this error message actually indicate and how do I check if the model has run properly in MLwiN.

Thanks,
Soumava

Is this the first time that you have used -runmlwin- on this machine? If so I would suggest starting with some of the examples in the help file to make sure that it is set up correctly. If the command works elsewhere then I would suggest removing the nopause option so that MLwiN stays open when the command is run, and then checking whether there are any errors reported there.
