RE: Error with SAEM and LIKE Option
Hi Varun,
You might try explicitly using “NOINTERACTION” with SAEM and IMP.
Cheers… Brian

Subject: [NMusers] Error with SAEM and LIKE Option
Dear All,
I get error while using SAEM estimation method for repeated time to event
model. But, the same model runs well with LAPLACE. Could you suggest what I am
missing below.
This $EST runs well
$ESTIMATION MAXEVAL=999 METHOD=COND LAPLACE LIKE PRINT=1
Following $EST method fails with the following error
$EST METHOD=SAEM LAP LIKE NBURN=1000 NITER=1000 PRINT=200 IACCEPT=0.2 CTYPE=3
CINTERVAL=10
$EST METHOD=IMP LAPLACE CTYPE=3 CINTERVAL=1 NITER=300
IACCEPT=0.2 DF=6 SEED=123
Error
(WARNING 121) INTERACTION IS IMPLIED WITH EM/BAYES ESTIMATION METHODS
AN ERROR WAS FOUND IN THE CONTROL STATEMENTS.
545 $ESTIM: "INTERACTION" CANNOT BE USED WITH "LIKE" OR "-2LL".
