Multistate model bug?

[Morten Frederiksen]

I'm trying to change which parameter to estimate by subtraction in a multistate model. This facility is very helpful, particularly as it allows you to build useful additive models. However, in my version of MARK (4.3) it doesn't quite seem to work. I can change the probability to obtain by subtraction in the dialog box, but MARK seems to take no notice of this when I run the model. In fact, if I immediately reopen the dialog box, the default values are shown rather than what I just chose. What's going on - is it a bug?

Can't replicate the problem. The change shows up in terms of which parameters are presented in the real and beta outputs. You don't really see anything otherwise.

Morton:
Check the PIM Chart labels, or else the PIM Window labels, and I think you will see that the change was made. The default values in the change window are not changed.

Thanks Gary and Evan - it does indeed work, although it's very discreet!
