RE: increasing ETA estimates with adding full block

From: bachmanw@globomax.com Subject: RE: [NMusers] increasing ETA estimates with adding full block Date: 8/19/2003 8:36 AM Reiner, You really haven't given us enough information, but, based on what you have given us, some thoughts: 1. if you haven't used FOCE with interaction, do so. 2. if you have, I suggest that you just have a situation where a full omega is not warranted. as you have said yourself, the additional etas are NOT describing more of the variability (and the decrease in objective function is just due to adding more parameters to the model). 3. your variance models may not be appropriate for your data.
