I’m running across a situation and need some guidance. I am adding >1 covariate to my model and I’m not sure what the numeric code should be for the enable statement. In the PML guide it states enable=0 turns off the parameter (fine I get that) and enable =1 turns it on…ok I’m still with you.. however, if say you start with the edit as graphical mode, and you have >1 covariate in the model when you flip over to textural, you get enable statements = >1…but not necessarily in order. So I had enable=1, 2 and 4…but only 3 covariates defined in my model. should these all be = 1? should they be sequential? I ran a few models and it doesn’t seem to make a difference to the parameter estimates but would like some clarification please. thanks Elliot
Dear Elliott If you are using the simple scenario for fitting, then you do not need to use the enable statement at all. Then since I guess you do not run the covariate search here, the answer is simple, do not use it at all. If you want to use the covariate search option, then easiest way to learn how to fill the enable statements with numbers is to use the interface in a copied model to define your covariate relationships and the enable statement will be created for you. If you still have problems, let me know and I will create for you a demo project. Happy holidays. best Serge
