F1
|
"Specification=value" expected
A specification whose first one or two letters is not in the "INDEX OF Facets SPECIFICATIONS" was given.
If this message appears for line 1, then the specification file may not be in the correct format. Open the specification file with Microsoft Word, then save as "DOS text with line breaks".
|
F2
|
Number invalid or greater than ___
Integers are usually in range 1 to 2147483647. Facet numbers are integers in the range 1 to 255. Facet 0 can be used to indicate that no facet applies.
|
F3
|
Duplicate category label
A category number has been defined twice in a Rating (or partial credit) scale= specification.
|
F5
|
More than ___ components in Model= statement
Each Model= statement has as many facet control characters, e.g., "?", as there are facets in the Facets= statement, then a scale character, e.g., "R", followed optionally by a weight, e.g., "1". You specified too many components.
|
F6
|
Invalid or undefined scale
The Model= or Rating Scale= statement specified a scale type, e.g., "S", which is neither a scale type itself, e.g., "R", nor defined by "Rating Scale=S". Check that Facets= matches the number of facets in Models=
|
F7
|
Duplicate Rating (or partial credit) scale= identifying labels
Two Rating (or partial credit) scale= specifications have the same scale name, e.g., "quality" in
"Rating (or partial credit) scale=quality"
and then again later,
"Rating (or partial credit) scale=quality"
|
F8
|
Facets= statement conflicts with prior facet commands
Specify your one Facets= statement before other facet-related commands, such as "Positive=2" to prevent incorrect standard values being used.
|
F9
|
Facet number out of range: 1-(number of Facets specified in Facets=)
|
F11
|
All Model= statements must include ____ facet locations + type [+ weight]
Each model statement has as many facet control characters, e.g., "?", as there are facets, followed by a scale character, e.g., "R", followed optionally by a weight, e.g., "1". You specified too few components.
|
F12
|
Category is not an integer in range 0 to 255
Valid responses are in the range 0 to 255, after recoding if specified.
|
F13
|
Labels= contains the same facet twice
After a Labels= statement, the facets can be in any order, but each facet number can only be used once, e.g.,
Labels=
3=facet 3
1=element 1 facet 3
*
1=facet 1
1=element 1 facet 1
*
3=facet 3 <- this is invalid. The facet is repeated!
|
F15
|
Invalid category in Rating (or partial credit) scale= specification
Category values must be integers in the range 0 to 32767, or negative numbers, if they are to be treated as missing.
|
F17
|
Extra term on DOS command line
The DOS command line can have
C:>FACETS SPECFILE [OUTFILE [ANCFILE]] Specification=Value .....
[ ] mean "optional".
Your DOS command line does not follow this scheme. Are there blanks before or after "=" signs?
|
F18
|
This specification not permitted on DOS command line
You have specified something on the command line that Facets does not allowed there, e.g., Labels=, Model=, Rating (or partial credit) scale=
|
F19
|
Models= problem
|
F20
|
No element numbers specified after Labels=
Your Labels= command was not followed by a facet number, then element numbers, then "*", e.g., a correct specification is:
Labels=
1, Facet 1 name ; facet number
21=One element ; element in first facet
32=Another element
* ; end of element list for this facet
2, Facet 2 name
1=Element one name
*
|
F21

Sort length error - contact www.winsteps.com
Internal failure in Facets. Contact us prepared to give details of your specification file.
You can run probably produce useful output from Facets:
1) Remove any Arrange= specification
2) Specify "Vertical=no"
|
F22
|
Non-numeric datum treated as missing
An observation is specified with a non-numeric values. It is ignored as missing data.
|
F23
|
Invalid element number. Must be integers in the range 0 - 2147483646
0 is the null element number, unless Keepasnull= sets a different element number as the null element.
Please reassign element numbers greater than 2,147,483,646 to smaller unused element numbers. Delements=B allows larger element numbers to be used as element numbers in the data, provided that they are also the element labels. If you really have more than 2 billion elements in a facet, then you will need a custom version of Facets.
|
F24
|
Invalid group number
Group numbers must be integers in the range 1 to 255
|
F25
|
Invalid Model= statement
You did not use a valid facet control character, such as "?", or "#", a valid element number or a valid element-number range.
|
F26
|
Invalid response value: non-numeric or too big for model
A response in this data line did not match the Model= or Rating (or partial credit) scale= specification.
|
F27
|
Data record does not contain ___ facet references + data
You did not specify enough facet element references, or data elements in your data line.
|
F28
|
Non-Integer value where integer expected
Element and category numbers must be integers, not real numbers like 2.5
|
F29
|
Only one facet may have a range (-) in a data line
With 2 facets, "1-3,2-3, 1,0,1,0,1,1" is invalid. Enter:
1-3,2, 1,0,1
1-3,3, 1,1,0
|
F30
|
Not enough responses for the range: expected: ___
You specified a range of elements, but did not provide one response for each element of the range, e.g., with two facets, "1-3,4, 2, 1" requires one more response, e.g., "1-3,4, 2, 1, 2".
|
F31
|
Too many responses: expected: ______
You specified a range of elements, but provided more responses than there were elements in the range, e.g., with two facets, "1-3,4, 2, 1, 2, 2" has one response too many. Also check Dvalues=, if used.
|
F32
|
Valid arrangements are facet number (optional) then A,F,M,N,P,a,m,f,n,p
Did you specify some other letter or a non-alphabetic character? Valid arrangements look like: "Arrange=Af,Mp,3M"
|
F33
|
Data file error
|
F34
|
Please specify Facets= before this specification
This specification requires a Facets= specification to precede it, e.g., Facets=3.
|
F35
|
No usable data. Use Query=Y to check Models= and Labels=
No data match model statements, and reference specified elements, and have valid data values. Query=Y to discover the reason Facets rejected each datum.
F35 may be because there is only one observation for each element.
Here is a way to get your analysis to run ....
1. Put all the data in twice: copy-and-paste the current data after itself.
2. Weight the data 0.5
Models= ?, ?, ?, R, 0.5
|
F36
|
Error F36: All data eliminated as extreme. Dropped elements - first: facet (facet number) element (element number) "(element label)" - last: facet (facet number) element (element number) "(element label)"
Extreme scores (zero or perfect) correspond to infinite measures and so provide no useful information about the measures of other elements. Therefore, data included in extreme scores are eliminated from the main estimation process. All scores were extreme, so all data were eliminated. Here are some possibilities:
0) models, elements or observations have zero or negative weights. Check there are no extra commas.
1) not enough data
2) data entry errors
3) the data are not zeroes or positive integers. Other values can be processed with Rating Scale=
4) the model specified in Models= does not match the data.
5) the data have a Guttman pattern. On first analysis, there are some extreme scores for persons, items, judges, tasks, etc. So these are dropped from immediate estimation. Then, in the remaining data, there are some extreme scores. These are dropped. The process continues until no data are left.
Suggestion: eliminate one facet at a time from the analysis. Replace ? by X in Models= to isolate the problem facet.

F37
|
Incompatible file usage: ______
The same file name has been specified for two different files, e.g., a data file and an output file. Rerun Facets with amended file names.
