2-in-1 design

[peyman_07]

My decision is to set all priors to zero. Previously, you mentioned that even if I use no priors, ASC0 must have a value. Should I use those insignificant priors for ASC0? For instance Bayesian priors, for M1: ASC0[(n,-0.259,1.24)] and for M2: ASC0[(n,2.18,2.36)].

That is not what I wrote. I quote: "You can never leave ASCs as zero unless all other priors are also zero."

Hi,

I just created a model averaging design but needed to change some attribute levels manually. Then, I wanted to evaluate the design with the following syntax in Ngene:

design

Code: Select all

;alts(m1) = ACC*, DEC*
;alts(m2) = ACC*, DEC*


;rows=24
;block=6
;eff = m1(mnl,d) + m2(mnl,d)

;eval=H:\My Documents\eval.csv


;model(m2):


U(ACC)= tr.dummy[0]*TR[1,2]+rt.dummy[0|0]*RT[1,2,3]+wt[0.0001]*WT[0,5,10,15]+dr.dummy[0.0001]*DR[1,2]+rr[0.0001]*RR[3,4,5]+pt[-0.0001]*PT[5,10,15,20]+sp[0.0001]*SP[0,1.5,3](10-12,8,4-6)+pl.dummy[0]*PL[1,2]+tcg[-0.0001]*TCG[0,15,30]+gt[0.0001]*GT[0,1.5,3]+tf[0.0001]*TF[10,15,20]/

U(DEC)= ASC0


;model(m1):

U(ACC)= tr.dummy[0]*TR[1,2]+rt.dummy[0|0]*RT[1,2,3]+wt[0.0001]*WT[0,5,10,15]+dr.dummy[0.0001]*DR[1,2]+rr[0.0001]*RR[3,4,5]+pt[-0.0001]*PT[5,10,15,20]+sp[0.0001]*SP[0,1.5,3](10-12,8,4-6)+lo.dummy[0.0001]*LO[1,2](7-9,15-17)+pl.dummy[0]*PL[1,2]/

U(DEC)= ASC0

$

When I run this syntax, this error appears: "ERROR: More designs found in data that in model specification."

Would you please let me know what it means?

Kind regards,
Peyman.

It likely means that there is an error in the format of your CSV file.

Please consult the Ngene manual for the appropriate way to format a design, namely:

* there needs to be a header column
* the first column indicates the design number, typically a column with ones only, i.e., 1, 1, 1, etc.
* the second column indicates the choice task number, i.e., 1, 2, 3, etc.
* the remaining columns list the attribute levels in the order in which they appear in the utility functions
