Dear statlister,

I have a simple question regarding item-specific thresholds models
using -gllamm-. Why -gllamm- with -lv- option gives different
coefficients and different significance levels than -gllamm- with
-thresh- option (and -gologit2-)? And how should I interpret the
results in the two cases? According to the gllamm manual they are
supposed to be two ways of specifying the same model.

Please look at the examples below.

Using a data set called 'delinq.txt' available at www.gllamm.org and
collapsing as follows (and as as shown in the GLLAMM manual p. 94):

infile sex y1 y2 y3 y4 y5 y6 using delinq.txt, clear
gen cons=1
collapse (sum) wt2=cons, by(sex y1-y6)
gen id=_n
reshape long y, i(id) j(item)
qui tab item, gen(d)
qui gllamm y, i(id) init weight(wt) l(oprob) f(binom) adapt
matrix a=e(b)

********GLLAMM WITH THRESH OPTION**********
. eq het: d2-d6
. gllamm y, i(id) init weight(wt) l(oprob) f(binom) thresh(het) from(a) adapt

number of level 1 units = 38652

Condition Number = 23.922058

gllamm model

log likelihood = -11234.722

I used the -init- option to make it comparable with -gologit2- by
Richard Williams. The results of -gologit2- are reported below and
they confirm the -gllamm- model above.

However, -gllamm- with the -lv- option gives different thresholds with
different significance level:
