Unable to specify the minimum value for the change in parameter estimates in GEE

  • 1.  Unable to specify the minimum value for the change in parameter estimates in GEE

    I have tried to perform GEE analysis after updating to the latest version (29.0.2.0) of the program. I received the following warning: "Subcommand CRITERIA: PCONVERGE must specify a single numerical value. Execution of this command stops." However, I cannot specify the minimum value for the change in parameter estimates in either the "Repeated" or "Estimation" tabs, as the fields for those values are inactive and cannot be modified. My colleague and I have reviewed all the options to confirm my choices. She has active fields with same choices, but I do not. The inactive fields are shown in light grey in the attached picture. Is there anything I can do to make those fields active and modifiable?

    Hi @Sohvi Koponen,
    From your screenshot above, you have the "Working Correlation Matrix: Structure" setting left at the default "Independent".  Should you choose any of the other "Structure" settings, the settings of interest are enabled in the dialog.
