Examples

library(R2MLwiN)
## Modify the following paths as appropriate.
## MLwiN folder
mlwin ="C:/Program Files (x86)/MLwiN v2.27/"
## MLwiN sample worksheet folder
wspath=paste(mlwin,"/samples/",sep="")

## MLwiN sample worksheet: tutorial dataset
wsfile=paste(wspath,"tutorial.ws",sep="");inputfile=paste(tempdir(),"/tutorial.dta",sep="")
ws2foreign(wsfile, foreignfile=inputfile, MLwiNPath=mlwin)
library(foreign);indata =read.dta(inputfile)

## Define the model
formula="normexam~(0|cons+standlrt)+(2|cons+standlrt)+(1|cons)"
levID=c('school','student')
## Choose option(s) for inference
estoptions= list(EstM=1)
## Fit the model
mymodel=runMLwiN(formula, levID, D="Normal", indata, estoptions, MLwiNPath=mlwin)

##summary method
