Hi Bob, IMP/MAP also came back with pretty similar OBJ like IMP. Below is the code I use, am I doing the wrong way? $ESTIMATION METHOD=IMPMAP INTERACTION LAP EONLY=1 NOABORT NITER=20 PRINT=1 SIGL=6 NSIG=2 ISAMPLE=1000

Try using IMPMAP (and EONLY=1) and see if that helps. Let it run for 20 iterations. Robert J.

As I learned from NM7 workshop, I used IMP method after SAEM to generate SE estimate. In this case, at the end of SAEM iteration, OBJ was quite stable and negative several thousand. But, with IMP, after 5 iterations, Obj was up to positive several 10 to power of 7. Obj was decreasing during this 5 iterations. My questions is, dose this mean SE estimate is not reliable? Should I increase iterations of IMP? Thank you.
