Hi group.<div><br><div><br></div><div>I will paste two result excerpts. Both are results of the same model on the same data with the same precision parameters (at least those that I know of). I chose to use five phase two sub phases, and 1000 phase three iterations in both estimations.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Here's number one:</div><div><br></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'courier new', monospace"> 11. eval RSB alter -1.1657 ( 0.6275 ) 0.0023 </font></div>

<div><br></div></div><div>The only difference is that I asked for the simulated nets in number two (returnDeps=T). In my opinion, the parameter estimates of these two fits are acceptably close. I don't believe that the standard errors are, however. My decision to reject would vary in these estimates for effects 11, 12, and 16. Is it likely that my data is odd in that way? Or is there a software parameter that will allow me to perhaps trade some time for some precision in the estimation of standard errors?</div>
