Re: st: iccvar

[Dirk Enzmann <dirk.enzmann@uni-hamburg.de>]

It seems that -quickicc- (from SSC) does *not* calculate the ICC of 
random slope models. But you can use -xtmrho- (from SSC), instead - 
although -xtmrho- does not calculate the standard error.
Stata example (runable from do-file window):

* --------------------------------------------
cap which quickicc
if _rc ssc install quickicc

cap which xtmrho
if _rc ssc install xtmrho

webuse nlswork
xtmixed ln_wage grade age c.age#c.age ttl_exp ///
        tenure c.tenure#c.tenure || idcode: tenure
xtmrho
quickicc
* --------------------------------------------

BTW: Note that in the first "official" example for -xtmixed- (see -h 
xtmixed-) the variables ln_wage and idcode are abbreviated to ln_w and 
id which - depending on your varabbrev setting (see -h set_varabbrev-) 
might give you an error message if you try to run it (this should be 
corrected!).
