unstack macro not working for MLwiN 2.35?

[Boliang Guo]

Hi Jonathan, 

I am following the steps of your MLwiN macros guide to export the imputed data to stata for further analysis. I am just testing the procedure at the moment to be familiar with the steps. my MLwiN is the latest 2.35. when I run MI for the example class size data, I am planing to export imputed data to STATA for further analysis. with the default setting as shown in your guide,  the imputed data should be in column 301~305.   I  ran following command:

set b801 301

set b802  5

set b803  350

obey us_options

I had the ouput:

             UNSTACK OPTIONS: VERSION 1.0, Dec 2006 

===========================================================

resp_indicator

my output is something totally differently from what was shown in page 28, I carried on running command:

obey unstack

 and noticed there are nothing in column 350-354.

any help please?

Hi Boliang

I'm not sure what is going wrong I'm afraid, and we're (I'm) not really able to support these macros any more.

I would suggest using the REALCOM Impute program and the import/export program for Stata, as the former is continued to be developed (by colleagues in Bristol).

Best wishes

Thanks Dan. 

I am now using MLwiN MVML model to handle missingness now. 

best,
