  Title: analyzing the ex9.30step1 data
          which has missing data.
          Not using Tinterval
          analyzing/saving not missing observations
          by commenting out missing= and using Useobs
          and not using Lagged so that y&1 is not saved

  Data:
      file = ex9.30step1.dat;

  Variable:
      names = u z y w time subject;
      ! don't read y-lag because then all records have missing
      usev = z y w;
   !   missing = all(999);
      cluster = subject;
      between = z w;
   !   lagged = y(1);
  !    Tinterval = time(1);
      useobs = y ne 999;

      auxiliary = time;

  ANALYSIS:
      TYPE = twolevel RANDOM;
        		estimator=bayes;
              proc=2;
                biter=(1000);

  MODEL: ! just apply a simple model:

      %WITHIN%
      y;

      %BETWEEN%
      y on w;
      z on y;

  Output:
        tech1 tech8;

  Plot:
      type = plot3;

  Savedata: ! this will be the "real data":
      file = ex9.30.dat;



*** WARNING in MODEL command
  TYPE=RANDOM is used to declare random effect variables in the model.
  No random effect variables were found.  TYPE=RANDOM will be ignored.
