Hello

I am attempting to fit a model using complex data drawn from a sample of mothers and fathers. What I would like to do is to: a) compare the fit of the model for mothers with that of fathers; and b) account for the fact that mothers and fathers are usually (but not completely) nested within families. My syntax is as follows:

GROUPING IS gender (1,2);
CLUSTER IS id;

ANALYSIS: TYPE = TWOLEVEL;

MODEL: parstrt4 ON group (1)
hadtott4 (2)
socsupt4 (3)
dastott4 (4)
stot (5)
hatot (6);

hadtott4 WITH
socsupt4
dastott4
stot
hatot;

dastott4 WITH
socsupt4
stot
hatot;

socsupt4 WITH stot
hatot;

stot WITH hatot;

OUTPUT: sampstat mod(5) stdyx;

When I run this model I get an error as follows:

*** ERROR
Cluster ID cannot appear in more than one group.
Problem with cluster ID: 1001

Thanks in advance!

The groups must contain independent observations. Members of the same cluster cannot appear in both groups. See Web Note 16 for further information.
