Keep data in MLwiN after model estimation to speed up subsequent modeling?
Posted: Tue Jul 13, 2021 9:41 pm
Hi all,
I have been working with large data files (1+ GB) and it would be helpful for me to be able to keep the data in MLwiN to prevent the Stata to MLwiN data transfer that happens each time I fire off a model using runmlwin. Is it possible to avoid the data transfer step and keep my data in MLwiN while still using runmlwin (or R2MLwiN)?
I realize that I could just use MLwiN natively but I am not at all familiar with its syntax or facilities whereas I am quite familiar with Stata (and R) for all my data management, graphing, and reporting needs.
Thanks,
Erik
