R help - Nov 2005 - Help to multinomial analyses

Dear Sirs,
Could you please be so kind as to send us some information on residuals in 
multinomial logistic models? Is it possible to use R software?
We thank you in advance.

Sincerely yours

here are some references to multinomial models:

I would suggest, in addition,

Hosmer & Lemeshow Applied Logistic Regression esp. p 280-288, and
references therein.
In particular, they cite 

Lesaffre & Albert, Multiple-group regression diagnostics, Applied
Statistics, 38, 425-440

but note that the techniques recommended there are not implemented in
'available software'.  I would be interested to know if these techniques
have been implemented since H and L.

Regards

Peter
