'Untick' Fixed Parameter Box - Runmlwin

Post by Ginafelicia »

Dear all,

I have a question regarding the following model:

runmlwin LSchooling cons Year1-Year8, ///
level3(prov_id: cons) ///
level2(dc_id: Year1-Year8) ///
level1(Year: cons)

with the requirement to only keep the random effect for Year1. In the language of the Mlwin interface, I would like to untick the 'Fixed Parameter' box for Year1. How could I do that using runmlwin?

Thank you very much in advance!
Best,
Gina

You should be able to achieve this by just omitting the relevant variable from the initial list, i.e.

Code: Select all

runmlwin LSchooling cons Year2-Year8, ///
level3(prov_id: cons) ///
level2(dc_id: Year1-Year8) ///
level1(Year: cons)
