I am trying to run a robust design for a presentation that is due in 2 hours. When I go to enter my file and try to start testing models I get this error message:Internal Error in CREATEPIM: Parameter=Gamma' nCols=0 nRows=0 . What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it? I am DESPERATE!!!

Thanks, Erika

So desperate that you didn't both to tell us what software you're using. Or -- by extension -- what part of the forum to put this question in. Once you specify the software application, I'll move the thread to the appropriate subforum.

Sorry, I am using Program MARK

OK -- this thread is now in the 'MARK | software' updates sub-forum.

As to the problem, is it something you have worked with successfully before, and are only now having an error with it, or is this something you're having problems with right from the start. If the former, try deleting any .tmp files, rebooting your machine, and trying again. If the latter, not much can be done without a lot more information on the data, the analysis, what models you're referring to, etc. In addition, if the latter, this is not something you should be 'starting from scratch' right before a presentation.

The error occurs when I first try to input my data into program Mark. I am just trying to simply use the Robust Design for closed captures. I have two primary occasions each with 4 secondary occasions, with two attribute groups. I have the in an .inp file as follows:

"/*Distant group = 1, proximate group =0; generalizing for model that each trapping date was the same*/"
/* 901 */ 11110000 1 ;
/* 910 */ 10110000 1 ;
/* 925 */ 11110000 1 ; (with more data than this). Any ideas?

The error occurs because you need at least 3 primary occasions. A similar post like this occurred a few weeks ago on the RMark subforum. --jeff

I am also getting this message. I am using Robust Design, Huggins Closed Captures. 2 primary sampling periods and 5 secondary sampling periods. I wasn't able to locate any other posts related to this message. Does anyone have any ideas? I have searched my .inp file very carefully, and haven't found any errors. Perhap this model also requires more than 2 primary sampling periods?
