DeaR useRs: I am looking for a function which fits a multinomial model and in Baron?s page I find the function "multinom" in package "nnet" but this package is deprecated. I suppose that this function is now in other package but I can't find it. Can you help me? Thanks.
Are you sure? I just checked on CRAN (US mirror) and it says: VR: Functions and datasets to support Venables and Ripley, 'Modern Applied Statistics with S' (4th edition).

`Recommended' not `deprecated'. nnet is part of the VR bundle that should be in all complete R installations. Did you actually look in yours?

What do you mean with deprecated?> I suppose that this function is now in other package but I can't find it.AFAIK "multinom" is still in "nnet" and "nnet" is still part of the package bundle "MASS". Hope it helps. Thomas P.
