Can I toggle the error term in a lower level equation?

[drddtorres]

In a three-level repeated measures model I have two terms in addition to the constant that I plan to plug lower level variables into. I only want the terms for the constant and year to have the error term turned on. In HLM one can just toggle this, but I don't seem to be able to get rid of the error term for my other beta.

Thanks,
Diego

Would it be possible to provide a screenshot showing the issue, as I don't really understand the question?

Hi, Chris,

I don't know how to post a copy of a screenshot here, but I'm talking about excluding the u error term at the second level for all but a couple of the time-varying coefficients added to the model.

These shouldn't have a u error term unless you have added it by clicking on the variable and ticking the box for the second level, so to remove it you need to click on the again and remove the tick.
