Hi Doug,

Thank you for your response.  The current fsgd file I sent you was with the
covariates demeaned x 100, as I saw you recommend that to someone else.  We
previously tried doing just the demeaned values without multiplying by 100,
and that still had the badly scaled error.  Do you think we should take the
demeaned x 100 covariates and divide them by the standard deviation?  Or
would it be better to take regular demeaned values and divide them by the
standard deviation?

Best,

Jennifer Legault
