现在正在赶论文,需要用hlm分析日志研究的数据。在输入数据时,遇到问题了,老是提示 It looks like your level-2 file is not sorted. Please sort this file and re-run. 于是重新检查了下level 1和level2的id,已经排过序了,而且是对应的,为啥还会总有这个提示呢?请懂hlm的前辈们帮忙指教下啊,谢谢哦!
Hello lyvis,
It's a current message in HLM, please read your data before export to hlm, your SPSS or other material,
Sort your data in these format and reexport them to mdm and the program will be runned without problem.
If the problem persist please repost your hlm message and i will try to help you.
Good luck
Hi, Lahraf \(^o^)/~ Thank you for your message! It is so kind of you for helping me! Thank you so much \(^o^)/~
However, I do not quite understand "please read your data before export to hlm, your SPSS or other material"... so which software should I use to read my data, spss or hlm? The data document formats are .sav, created by spss... And I have sorted the data in the format above... so what is your advice? Thank you so much!
Hello lyvis,
The problem may be due to the structure of your data that is the distribution of the level 2 units by level one units. The structure of a hierarchical model must be like a panel model that is some level two units by the same (some if umbalanced) level one units.
I this discussion can not help you i can send you my email and i will help you directly by email that is by treating directly your data.
Good luck
Dear lahraf, thank you for your help \(^o^)/~ I can understand how hard for you to manipulate this forum... The google translation is not so smart sometimes
The problem has been solved now. I have downloaded hlm 7.0 (the student edition), and it can read the .sav data created by SPSS 21.0. Maybe there are some problems with the interface between SPSS and hlm 6.
Thank you for helping me and look forward to your email \(^o^)/~
Hello Lyvis,
Its a good news that your problem is resolved,
Just be careful that all your observations are included in the HLM model because the student version of HLM may be limited in term of the observation number. I this is the problem just convert your data file in a former version of spss, stata or xls and retry the exort (i can send to your statastransfer for this task).
I you have a problem of estimation interpetation just send me a message and i will send you a good book for this.
Good luck
I am still analyzing my data now. Unfortunately, their relationship is beyond my expectation... Now I have a such problem... Could you please give me some advice? Thank you \(^o^)/~
