Hi everyone,
I use the MNP package to fit my data.  I can interpret the coefficients and
covariance.  I cannot put them into the original model which is
Wi=Sum(bXij) over j,
Yi(Wi)=0 if max(Wi)<0, j if max(Wi)=Wij>0
j=3 here, 3 choice alternatives, Clio, Punto, Polo
I don't  know how to put the coefficients and covariances into W, to
construct W for each j.
The coefficients and covariances are below.
I f anyone help me on this, I would appreciate.
ozlem.
Call:
mnp(formula = choice ~ 1, data = rowdata3, choiceX = list(Punto PricePunto,
    Clio = PriceClio, Polo = PricePolo), cXnames = "price", base =
"Polo",
    n.draws = 100, verbose = TRUE)
Coefficients:
                           mean     std.dev.    2.5%    97.5%
