Dear All,<br><br>I am trying to port an analysis from aML to ADMB. This is a multilevel multiprocess model (some people call it multivariate multilevel model) of child mortality. I am jointly modeling infant mortality (death before age one), mortality between age 1-10, and mortality between age 11-20. Because aML assumes a multivariate normal distribution for the unobserved heterogeneity terms, some reviwers think my results are minly driven by this distributional assumption. I would like to try alternative distribution assumption for these unobserved hetegeineity terms such as multivariate log-normal or multivariate t. ADMB seems to be the only softare choice for this. <br>
<br>It will be really great if there is an example of multilevel multiprocess model using ADMB so that I can tailor it to suite my own research needs. Can anybody help me with this?<br><br>Many thanks. <br><br>Best,<br>Shige<br>
