Runmlwin Wrong Parameters

[EnnoKohlisch]

Hi there,
I am using MLwin 3.08 and after running the IGLS procedure to obtain initial values for an MCMC model and running:

Code: Select all

runmlwin `Model', ///
	level3(id3: cons) level2(id2: cons) level1(id1:) ///
	discrete(distribution(binomial) link(logit) denom(cons)) ///
	mlwinpath($MLwiNPath) mcmc(on burnin(500) chain(5000) orthogonal) initsprevious

where i get the error message "wrong parameters". I tried to change my decimal seperator to "." in my windows settings (https://www.bristol.ac.uk/cmm/software/ ... rrors.html) which results in the same error message. When i provide initsb(b) and initsv(V) where i set the values to larger than 1 or 0 everything runs fine except i have initial values that are probably not the best. Therefore I do suspects that it is indeed a problem with the decimal seperator. Within MLwin itself (without using STATA runmlwin) the model also runs fine. When i use the trial version (2.36) the above stated STATA commands works perfectly fine and runs without errors. I am using windows 11.

Best regards
Enno

Could you please try adding the viewfullmacro option to your runmlwin command and post the MLwiN script that this generates?
