Hi,

My code indicates there may be a bug in multilevel.
I doubt this is actually the case, can anyone tell me what is wrong with my
code?

The data file for this code can be downloaded here:
http://cameron.econ.ucdavis.edu/mmabook/mma15p4gev.asc

Here is the code that generates the bug:

rm(list = ls())

library("multilevel")

#v1
fishing.data <- scan("mn.dat")
fishing.data.array <- array(fishing.data, c(11, 4, 1182))
fishing.data.array <- aperm(fishing.data.array, c(3,2,1))
means <- aggregate(fishing.data.array[,,3:5],
as.data.frame(cbind(fishing.data.array[,1:4,2])), mean)

## Table 1
## > means
##   V1 V2 V3 V4        V1        V2       V3        V4        V5        V6
## 1  1  0  0  0  35.69949  35.69949 97.80913 125.00316 0.2791948 0.2190015

## 3  0  0  1  0 137.52710 137.52710 41.60681  70.58409 0.2082868 0.1297646

##          V7        V8       V9      V10      V11      V12
## 1 0.1593985 0.5176090 4.051617 4.051617 4.051617 4.051617
## 2 0.1501489 0.4980798 3.387172 3.387172 3.387172 3.387172
## 3 0.1775411 0.6539167 4.654107 4.654107 4.654107 4.654107

#
## Note V1 and V2 above are the same.  This is suspicious.
## In fact (1,V1) from Table 1 should agree with (1,V1) from Table 2 below:
#

#v2
fishing.data <- scan("mn.dat")
dim(fishing.data) <- c(11,1182*4)
fishing.data <- t(fishing.data)
means <- aggregate(fishing.data[,3:5],
as.data.frame(fishing.data[,2]*fishing.data[,6:8]), mean)

## Table 2
## > means
##   V1 V2 V3       V1        V2       V3
## 1  0  0  0 95.85924 0.2717639 4.097600
## 2  1  0  0 30.57133 0.2025348 3.387172
## 3  0  1  0 41.60681 0.1775411 4.654107
## 4  0  0  1 75.09694 0.6914998 3.880900
