Hi,

A model I am trying to run on my PC will not run on Kate T's PC. The syntax we are trying to run is:

runmlwin pesokg cons s3_3_12_36_03 s3_3_12_36_3_12 s3_3_12_36_12_36 s3_3_12_36_36_max ///
male males3_3_12_36_03 males3_3_12_36_3_12 males3_3_12_36_12_36 males3_3_12_36_36_max, ///
level2(id: cons s3_3_12_36_03 s3_3_12_36_3_12 s3_3_12_36_12_36 s3_3_12_36_36_max, reset(none) residuals(res_wt, var)) ///
level1(occ: cons female agewk, reset(none) diagonal) maxiterations(100) nopause

The problem seems to be in the variance suboption of the residuals command. On Kate's PC, it gives an error message saying "option var not allowed"

The only difference we can find is that I am using Stata MP 11.2 and Kate is using Stata IC 11.2.

Is there any reason why the variance suboption would not work on Stata IC??

I've also had another example where a model ran on my PC but not for another colleague using Stata IC. This time she had to up the number of iterations and remove an indicator variable.

Any thoughts welcome!

Thanks,
Laura

Hi Laura,

I suspect that one or both of you might not be using the latest version of runmlwin.

You can check which version you are using by typing
and you will get output which looks something like the following

. which runmlwin
C:\ado\plus\r\runmlwin.ado
*! runmlwin.ado, George Leckie and Chris Charlton, 01Oct2011

If the date in your output is earlier than 01Oct2011, then you do not have the latest version of runmlwin.

To upgrade to the latest version of runmlwin, type
Best wishes

George

Note that a newver version of runmlwin have since been released

To get the latest version simply type
