R help - Nov 2005 - access standard errors from multinom model

Dear R users,

I'm using a multinomial LOGIT model to analyse choice behaviour of consumers
(as part of my masters thesis research).

Using the R documentation and search on the R website I have a working 
script now.
Parameters are estimated and I can access them via 
coefficients(multinom.out).

In order to see if the parameters are significant I like to access the 
standard errors  in the same way as the coefficiants but I cannot find out 
how to do this. The standard errors are shown in summary(multinom.out) but 
how can I access them to compute the z-score.

Apologies if I’m asking something really simple, just started with R one 
week ago...

Regards,
Arne Jol

str(summary(multinom.out)) often helps.

summary(multinom.out)$standard.errors
